My father reached the 10 year mark last week.  He simply had radiation therapy 10 years ago when he was 58.   There is hope....

Contats to your dad. My dad was treated in 1997 with Proton and is doing well. I love HOPE.

We need to see more threads like this, they're very uplifting and encouraging- long term undetectable rates. It seems some post their undetectable status for a year or two and then vanish.

Squirm. I agree. That is why I posted it.  Not enough long term encouragement here.

Thanks for posting. You are right not enough long term encouragment. There are very few that continue to post after initial treatment. I'm trying to post after each blood test now every six months. It has now been three years. I hope to post positive results after 10 years. Hooray for your dad. He was a year older than I was when I got it at age 57.
