Sharing My Good news

I always enjoy reading about others good news so I will share a bit of my own today. I am closing in on 10 years of treatment and my last 2 PSA's showed VERY SLIGHT increases from .06 to .07to .10. I know they're VERY small but I was concerned that an upward trend had began and was wondering what today's tests would yield. PSA was back down to .07 today. That relieved a bit of stress and out a smile on my face.

I know we all support one another here, so there is no need to respond, unless you wish. I WISH THE BEST TO ALL!!!

Great news. Take it. The emotional side effects can be distracting to say the least. 🙏

I wish you great joy and health. Your expectations turned out well.Unexpected anticipation is worrysome.

I too am in that same situation.

My Dec 2021 PSA was at lowest level 0.156ng/

mL then Feb 2022 PSA results jumped to 0.300ng/mL.

So today this AM I did had my own PSA and testosterone labs done at the 45 day period of my 90 day regular tests. YEs I call these my Interim PSA Labs, 1/2 way thru a 90 dsy check-up period . SO I wait for result to show up tomorrow or Thursday AM.

Do I anticipate an increase or doubling??

That's why we PCa patient patient guys do testing.

You're results are great jfoesq.

Your news is really encouraging, and I can easily understand how happy it makes you. I have been undetectable for three years, two of which are post- ADT - intellectually, I know there is about a 50% chance that the eSRT + ADT worked, but I also know that deep down, I expect it to come back at some stage.

I always feel very relieved when my 90 day cycle clicks over and another good result arrives - and from what you say, it looks like I will still feel the same way if I’m as lucky as you in about 7 years time!!

All the very best - enjoy your great outcome , you’ve earned it!!

Great news, I had my PSA blood samples taken yesterday. I’ve been like you watching it gradually going in the wrong direction, so I fully appreciate how you are feeling. Keep smiling 😄
