On 15th February my Oncologist told me that I was in Biochemical Remission. It was the first time I had been back to the Cancer Department of the Freeman Hospital. 15 weeks since my last Radiation session.
I was unable to say the word Remission. When I tried saying it's previously, I started to cry. So I called it "The R word".
I even had the Oncologist calling it "The R word"..
Some 3 days later I can mention Remission without crying (most of the time).
I have to be actively screened every 6 months. As long as my PSA can stay between 0 and 2 things are okay.
No more Hormone Injections (for now anyway).
Once the current Hormones wear off in the summer, we'll just have to see what happens, once my Testosterone machine is working again.
When I was told about the Remission, it felt like an anticlimax (I was expecting a "Marching Band" and a big "Drum Roll").
