Love to hear this sort of news, please keep posting those zero's every year.

Did your uro or doctor tell you that after 5 years of zeros since surgery you are now "cured" or "in remission"? That's what they said my goal is - to make 5 years of zeros and be out of the woods. I feel only minor anxiety for my 12 month PSAs now.

Great news for you at Christmas time, congratulations. I'll have a drink to all you guys here on Christmas eve.
