Just my annual check in I will never forget the encouragment help and information this site provided me when I was given the hammer to the chest and told, "you got prostate cancer." I have been very fortunate with my treatment and have regained all my functions as normal for a guy that is now 62 years old. So, for you new guys and now my brother in law age 62 is now amoung you just being diagnosed this month, hang in there. You will become somewhat of an expert about prostate cancer as you move through this. I see a few names still here that were here five years ago, but not many, most have moved on with their lives as you most likely will also. I wish you all the best with your journey that nobody wants to take, travel it as well as you can. God Bless 

Five year PSA is 0.85

My surgery DaVinci was 10/12/06 PSA 4.3 Gleason 7 Stage T1

PSA as crept up each test since surgery it is what it is

10/06 0.01

10/07 0.02

10/08 0.04

10/09 0.05

10/10 0.06

10/11 0.85

Hey 56Pontiac
Am missing something? Why is everyone calling it "zero"? Was your latest PSA 0.085, or 0.85?
Hopefully it is the former. If it is the latter, I would not wait a year for another retest. I'd be on the phone to my doc very quickly.
Hoping for a typo,
Jeff

Hi,
I second what Worried Guy said. I hope your latest PSA was .085, if not, you should recheck in 2 months. Good luck.

Just checked in myself after being out of touch for a while. We are on about the same path as to dates and I remember you well and echo your statements in how much this site helped me. Great to hear you are also still doing well as I too just had my latest check up and was glad to report it came back undetectable again.

Take care
Norskie
