amazing! Is your treatment ( Cabazitaxel) ongoing? What month did IMRT end? I assume your are (were) oligometastatic? If so, what scans did you have to identify the mets?

Oops, I edited my post Cabazitaxel in 21/22. PSMA showed L of Prostate filled with PCa and growing into perineum SUV Max at 87.5. IMRTs ended in April 23

Love hearing great news, AND, love that your spirit is STRONGER than anything a doctor tells you.

Keep on keeping on with your love for life and activity!

Big hugs to you.

By the way, my mother will be visiting my aunt and uncle in Hawaii in early January.

Will have to see where they will be staying!

Yea Babeee💙 having a drop after the two same PSA's was such a surprise.

The Eeyore pessimist side of me was thinking that the consecutive 3.4s meant that the decline was over and would just head back up and have to try another treatment. Had mentally prepped for that, and oh what a really wonderful number it was

LoL, I knew that the PSA result always posts in the wee hours the day after, so when I got up to go pee, had to check Kaiser account. With a bit of trepidation, I logged on and saw that it was available, took a deep breath and clicked on it, expecting a rise - already did a mental prep for a jump. And WUT!!! youtu.be/GexmUyDy-fo?si=AOn...

I’m sure you remember Dan59. He was a very active member for many years. In the 12 years Dan fought metastatic prostate cancer, his PSA never dropped below 4.0. That fact continues to amaze me.
