So far so good

4 Replies

Annual exam in August showed doubling PSA from 2 to 4 and hardening of prostate. This lead to MRI, biopsy, and my decision to have robotic removal which was performed Dec 19. Cath removed Dec 31. Resumed hiking Jan 1. Hiked every day in January for a total 150 miles. PSA this week was “undetectable”.

BTW I made 8 short Utube videos on my journey: RP’s Prostate Cancer Journey.

Great response. Are you working on penile rehab?

in reply to Tall_Allen

Yes but slow going

At 73 I guess it may take longer then I expected.
