I am so happy for you. Given that you had radiation treatment (not surgery), I think that is an astondingly low PSA reading since you still have some prostate tissue.

My ultra sensitive was at .01 for years after seeds and external beam at RCOG in 2000. But then came up after eighteen years. I m hopeful that ‘tis remission will be similar Hit it really hard and maybe early enough both times now.

Anyone to pass the first round is lucky ... I’ve had four years to contemplate life . I surely could have died from kidney failure before I was even diagnosed .. I’m enjoying the gravy train now. More appreciate of life than before dx. I hope that you did kick pc to the curb again . We at least need to loosen its grip.. It never gives up but neither should we . We are fighting for life .. Live well amigo .,, keep truckin!

Caught a moray eel on two separate occasions from back of boat at dock in marina. Now that is something scary to see on end of your line One I just cut the line. The other came off in that boat. Had a helluva time getting it corralled and back in the water. Never a dull moment. Salt water is slot different that when boat was in fresh water

Hey that'll put hear back on your chest....

Now that you mention it.... as a kid we got an eel in our boat at Coney Island and beat the shit out of it with a coke bottle. Those were the days when bottles were glass.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
