2018, Gleason 9, family history, RP surgery. Not clear margin. PSA undetectable three years, then back knocking at the door, (.17 PSA rise 2022). BCR!

PSMA scan clear. 35 IMRT Radiation treatments to surgery prostate bed, 6 months on Lupron.

See my wonderful Radiation Onocolgist on Monday, Dr. Hung, at Oregon State Health Hospital on Monday.

Went in today and had PSA tested so the results would be known on Monday for the Dr. Visit.

Results were posted to My Chart tonight, had to Pray before looking at them, "Thy will Shall be done, Dear Jesus"!

Almost couldn't look at the results, felt like I would pass out, I know, I know, crazy!

PSA of .05, "Undetectable"! Thank you Lord Jesus!

But also, wanted to let you all know what a great support network all of you who post here has been in this journey! Thank you so much! (special thanks to TA!).

Does the "PSA results" test "stress out" ever get better? LOL, God Bless You all!

That is such wonderful news. I have always been terrified of medical bad news, but I have taken on the researcher and management of my husband’s pc journey so he can just enjoy his life. I tremble and cross both fingers every time I open that MyChart. Now you can go celebrate and have a wonderful weekend! May this trend always continue for you!!
