Hi Everyone,

After a week of waiting, my husband's latest PSA (3 yrs post op) has come back as unchanged since 2009 and a healthy 0.03 (zero) once again. We are relieved, but internet down here at home, and jumping in to post this good news from work today. All remains well with us.  Have to fly now. All the best & cheers to all. Lana

Hi Lana,

Excellent news!

Wishing you and hubby the very best and constant zeros to infinity!

Kind regards,

Barry

A great bit of news Lana: congratulations to himself and may the future hold many more zeros.
On a side note I went to the recent Snuffy Myer's lecture at the Garvan Centre in Sydney. Curiously a member of the audience asked him specifically about modified citrus pectin. He dismissed the benefits claimed out of hand, describing it as another one of those false health supplements.

Lana, great news. CJ is becoming the model citizen of all that can go right. Is he the most senior member of the Zero Club that continues to report in?

Here's hoping for many more great tests,

Hi everyone,  and thank you so much for your good wishes - very much appreciated by CJ and myself.   It has been a little strange not being able to check in daily to HW with my internet down since the 22nd April to now - but I am really pleased with CJ's 3 year result, and after over 3 years (nearly 3.5 years) of checking in DAILY... to HW and this wonderful site.... I too, now have to take a break.   Since my husband can't use a computer in any way shape or form ( He builds vintage cars and works with large machinery instead ), for the last 3.5 years I have always logged in to read, and post here at HW – just to stay completely up-to-date with everything possible regarding Pca. I have always appreciated the information and support, and genuine mateship (albeit of a cyber nature) of the members and moderators here, who have accepted me so warmly on behalf of my husband, and also given me great support along the way which was something I really didn’t expect,   but thank you all for. It really is an amazing community global service, and so well moderated and spam free. A complete credit to the dedication of the HW team in unison,   and Peter W I feel. Being one to always put my money (or actions) where my mouth is (!) however,   I have made a small donation to HW to say thanks. We have had a few drives (fund raising efforts for the HW site) from time to time. I remember our wonderful moderator James C started one of these when I first joined,   and it raised some funds for HW.   And.... this year, I will inevitably click over to a Veteran status too,   but probably not for now. I seem to have “late on-set” information overload.   On the other hand, as some members have pointed out recently,   it is essential that people   hear the good outcomes as well,   and so I will not discontinue membership, and will stay in touch to update you all each six months or so. I am so grateful my husband has experienced a complete and total (it seems)   recovery since that chilling news of his diagnosis with Pca (Gleeson 7 at biopsy),   on 9 th Dec, 2006 – his 49 th birthday. More than for me, I am grateful my husband will see our   young son grow through his teenage and adult years ( He is now 10 yrs – was only 6 yrs when hubby diagnosed ). I didn’t know that when I started to post here. I had no idea what the future would hold. I am also now well into my PhD research, and  I have to focus elsewhere for next 2-3 years.   The prostate board was the first on-line or internet forum I had ever used. My decision to post here initially seeking support and information (that takes some courage in the first place as many wives would know!), turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. You have all (new, regular and veteran posters) enabled me to survive my husband surviving Pca at a younger than average age, and I will be forever grateful to everyone who responded to any of my posts over that time as this has been my only form of support. I do not share it with others hardly ever.   This is not a goodbye therefore. I hate goodbyes. It is more a “Take care and God Bless”   until next time.   Kinds regards, and stay out o’ strife; Lana (the almost Veteran wife!) xxoo

Dear Lana,

It will be sad to "see" you go.

It has been wonderful to converse with you over the years and to feel your support. 

I'd love to hear you check in on an annual basis so we can hear the good anniversary news.

I sincerely wish you and hubby the best of everything!

Kind regards,

Barry

Hey Lana and CJ,

Thanks for the great news about CJ's numbers.

As time passes and the numbers stay good, I have come to appreciate this forum more and more. Not only for the information it contains but more for the feeling of love and support that is here more than any other site I have visited. You and CJ have been a large part of my recovery and remission. I want to thank you both for that. We have a bond that will endure any hardship that we face in the future.

Thank you so much,
Jim

Lana, take care and God Bless, we will see ya later, I am sure. Thanks for your heartfelt sharing of your feelings. We got a great bunch of people here who we sometimes take for granted. You make me realize how blessed we are, what diversity we have and how we are bound by a common enemy. See ya around...
