Hey mjr,

No...Don's upsurge was immediately after surgery! Look, it's okay to get nutzyer the closer it gets I think everyone does...just don't drive the wife away...I hear she's a Saint!!!

All the best to you,
Susan

Hi mjr,

Funny you should bring this up; I just had my 18 month PSA, and it was a "0". The week or so before the test I started to worry, and all sorts of irrational thoughts filled my head. I guess it's just a normal thing to worry; you know the "What ifs?". All I can tell you is that every time so far each of those "0s" has been a "New Lease on Life". I wonder how many guys get to say that?

So after all this concern (I drive my wife Nutz too); I take her out for dinner to show her my appreciation for her patience and understanding.

Good luck to you on your next PSA test,

Glen

LOL,
I can't resist. While we do sget a little tense just before testing, I take solace. Before I think I am driving her nuts I remember that she said yes and married ME. Before I worry about driving her crazy, I note that she has the directions.

I have my first test following surgery next week.  However, my wife thinks I'm a little nutty all the time so she can't tell the difference!  :-)

I just had the blood drawn today for my second post-op test and I have been nutzo too.  I feel like I'm in a game of Russian Roulette. 

For the next couple of days, everytime my phone rings I'm gonna be ready to drop.

But like spinbiscuit said, once guys get through it and get the good news, it's like a new lease on life.  That's how I felt six months ago.

You sound like a saint! Just had my second blood draw Tuesday, still waiting for the ZERO report.  I try to reationalize it, and take comfort from the previous reading.  Problem is I only have ONE previous reading!!!

I am having blood drawn on 17th for my first post-op PSA, I see the uro on 26th for results, have to admit that I am starting to think about it a lot as the time gets closer.

I have learned to not worry too much about that which I can't control.  Not completely, but to some degree.  I got my first post treatment PSA four months after and I was a bit anxious, but not a bunch.  It has ocurred to me the it's the nature of cancer that you know for certain that you are cured when you die of another cause.  I expect there will always be a question till it comes back, or something else gets me.

Hi mjr,

I'm due to see my Urologist on the 12th this month. It's my 3rd 3-monthly checkup. That means that I'm only at 9 month past surgery. The jitters are starting to set in. All we can do is hope for the best and celebrate when the result turns out to be zero. I'll be keeping my fingers x'd for you. Hope you do the same for me.

Best of luck.
