I just received my results of my first PSA after surgery, and its non-detectable!What a relief that is. I would like to hear back, about their feelings, from the quys when the received their first non-detectable score.

Describe your first reaction!!!

I may be one of the few, but other than the first few days after diagnosis I never really worried about "the cancer" part of this disease and treatment. I guess because I figured it was caught so early and I was going to have the prostate removed I had this idea it was gone for good. Also after getting th labs after surgery showing it was organ confined I have not thought much of it since. I could be that my mind was on my constant leaking.
I do not say this do minimize anyones concern for their own health. It is just how I looked at it.
Good Luck to you all,
KW

Hi!
We were exhilarated with the first ZERO . .. . thanked the doctor . . . walked into hallway and both had tears on our cheeks.

I will admit my first zero was a huge relief, oddly enough I am always anxious about the next test fearing that it will rise. I think my next zero (hopefully Dec 15th) will be more exciting than the first.

peace to you

I think I am with kw...I really don't think about it much...at least as far as the PSA goes. I expected the first couple to be zero...unfortunately I think that it will rise later on, but I don't worry much about that. Right now just concentrating on the the ED and incontinence.

Absolutely Ecstatic!!

I just past the one year mark with an undetectable PSA, and I also finally close the books on hemmirod/bleeding problem. I finally got in and saw a doctor about my rectal bleeding and was scoped yesterday. Looks like I tore things (anal fissure) after the surgery, but it's healing on it's own. Time to close the book on this issue. Even the ED issue is starting to come around a little.

I think I'm the happiest I've been in a long time. What a good day!!!
