Who here has been undetectable the longest? (Survey)

I have never been undectable, so I can't vote. I started in 2008, and despite surgery and radiation, still active,
last PSA was above 34.XX a few months ago. Congrats to all the seemingly "cured" guys, happy for you all.

Purgatory,
As always, it's great to see you post.

Good to see that you're still following the forum. Even better to hear from you.

I encourage you, if you would like, to post an update of what has been happening with you. A lot of us would be genuinely interested in knowing.

Might be nice if this was a permanent thread out here?

Stickies and permanent threads got cut by the Administrator to only the two that you see now.
Nice idea, though.

10 years for me.

Hi everyone. I haven't been here for a long time for obvious reasons (see signature). Just couldn't resist to brag a little...sorry.

One and a half years after surgery, uPSA was detectable (0.004).
I was very worried because I always thought that this disease had ended for me. After all, my PSA at the time of surgery was 2.2 and the postoperative results were very good (negative surgical margins, clean seminal vesicle , clean lymph nodes and no extraprostatic extension).

The Healing Well forum is very educational, it has helped me a lot to understand about the possibilities of PC progression. I have been following this forum since 2016, as soon as I became a detectable but I try not to interact by posting my opinions because it reminds me of the disease.

Sorry to all the forum members for never interacting with you, I am certainly a selfish guy, because I have been reading your posts just to seek comfort for my mind.
Well, leave it all behind ...
Being detectable or undetectable depends on the PSA limit we consider, see below:
<0.003: 1 and a half year
<0.03: 4 years
<0.05: 6 years (last PSA =0.048)

M1961, glad for your good fortune, you got a great result.

Hi all, I haven't posted for a long time, I used to post when my father was diagnosed.

I guess it has been just over 10 years now......gleason 9/10, treated with IMRT and taxotere. It was a rough year, but he made it through and has been cancer free all this time, alive and well in his mid-70's.

Cheers
