Had another 6 monthly PSA test done yesterday. 3 years after SRT (5 years after RRP) my test came back with another <.04.
Wishing for similar results for all my brothers here.
Hoping for a healthy, wealthy and happy holiday season for all.

Mag,

When did you ever think you would be happy with a zero under the tree at Christmas?

Great news!

Mag, my friend, sounds like getting "nothing" for Christmas is a good thing. You still might be entitled to a switch and a lump of coal for your other crimes, lol.

Congratulations, Magaboo.  I'm due for my six-month test, and I'm sure hoping to get as much "nothing" as you did.
Posted 1/1/2012 12:50 PM (GMT -7)
That is really fantastic ! Praise the Lord. May you continue to receive good news of your test results.
Posted 1/1/2012 12:56 PM (GMT -7)

Bluebird. Wow, what a wonderful surprise to hear from you. Hugs right back at you and a great 2012 to all three of you. I often think of you and all your kind and heartfelt comments in the earlier days of my journey.

Clocknut. Thanks for your comment. I'll keep my fingers x'd for a big, fat zero on your next test. Happy 2012 to you and all my friends here.

Powellst. Thanks.

Mag
