I have no idea why, but the last couple of quarterly psa's have produced more anxiety than usual. I guess the further I get away from my surgery back in July 2010, the more I expect the PCa to return. My doc continues to reassure me that the further out I get, the LESS likely it is to return,....but I'm not so sure about that.

Anyway, Just got my results back and PSA is still NON_DETECT!! whoo hoooooo!! from a G9!!

YEEHAW!!! Zeroes are a great thing. Thanks for checking in with the results, gives many of us hope and a target to shoot for. Many more returns on undetectable.

Thanks everyone. Sonny, as you and I have discussed on the phone, I don't post much, although I do read the threads occasionally. Not that the forum doesn't mean a lot to me...It does,....as all the guys in here are great people with different perspectives, and I'm amazed at the comprehension and wisdom many of you have.

I can also relate to how most guys feel about their situation. You are probably the only guys on earth who understand the despair that a fellow diagnosed with a g8, 9 or 10 feels once they understand what that might mean. And I am more than willing to discuss in whatever detail is necessary to help others through this horrid disease....either on this forum, or on the phone, or by email, or however..

Having said that, the biggest reason that I post to announce my zero's is twofold; 1. I believe it gives a little hope to others diagnosed with a high gleason PCa, and 2. You are the only fellows on this earth who truly understand. My friends don't understand, my family doesn't understand,....shoot...my uro doesn't even understand.
I can state confidently that most of our urologists don't comprehend the importance of a "non-detect" after going through this.
To them we are just another patient. However to each other, we are friends that truly understand.

Okay,...I'll stop blathering.

Thanks guys......I shall sleep a little more deeply tonight, yet, I'll be a little more uneasy by February....and such is this life.

As a fellow G9, I am sure that will always be in the back of my mind too and I am 4 years behind you in getting treatment.

Congrats on great metrics.
