Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / October 2005Some (Cautious) Good News
Haven't posted much lately, but have been lurking religiously. I wanted to share some good news, for me, with the people who most appreciate how good it is. However, my "up" mood has been tempered somewhat with the post earlier today by Cancer2x of recurrence after 9.5 years. I received my 18-month-post-RRP PSA result today...undetectable, still. I'm breathing a little easier today! I'm on a six-month schedule of testing now, and I guess I'll always experience that anxiety leading up to each test. Good luck, Cancer2x.  SignatureJerryW jweindel at flash dot net 2/11/04 PSA 2.6, Suspicious DRE (age 62) 2/23/04 Biopsy: Gleason 3+4=7, T2a, left lobe 5/18/04 RRP, Path: Gleason 4+3=7, T2c, both lobes 7/13/04 PSA <0.1 10/12/04 PSA <0.1 1/18/05 PSA <0.1 4/26/05 PSA <0.1 10/13/05 PSA <0.1 Congratulations on the undetectable. "Cancer's" post has probably made us all think. My next PSA is October 31st, and I know that as the time gets closer I think about it a lot. > Haven't posted much lately, but have been lurking religiously. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Good luck, Cancer2x. JerryW, May you have many more. Enjoy the relief. Steve U Fantastic, Jerry. You certainly had a rough row to hoe. Didn't you also have a heart attack? Well, in any case, 18 months at 0.1 is a hell of a lot better than 6 or 12 months.

Steve, thanks. Yes, I had a heart attack in April 2001. This past February I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. But, I'm thankful I'm doing well on all fronts...so far. Jerry > Fantastic, Jerry.
