so! 21 months since ht stopped and 3 years since RT and last 3 pSA,s 0.27, 0.22 and, results just received today - 0.26. No matter how much I try, I still get anxious! 6 months now to enjoy ( hopefully) Spring and early summer!
Hello Worriedwife
Brilliant result and long may it continue.
We've travelled this journey together now for 4 years - it feels like iv'e known you a lifetime, we have had some great results, some very sad moments and lost some great friends and even been through doughnut gate - but we are both still here!
Thank you for the support you have provided to me - and everyone else on the Community in those 4 years - your posts have helped countless Community members through some very hard times. Thank you.
I wish you a happy, worry free 6 months.
Kind regards - Brian.

Hello Dave - I’ve just looked at your profile. I’m so sorry to read the disappointing news you have received. I think when they say ‘ tension to cure’, in sheer desperation we grab on to the word ‘cure’ without having the chances of recurrence explained to us - ie there are no guarantees in this darned journey we are all taking. It was wuitr some months after embarking on RT/HT that I stumbled on the word ‘recurrence’! My heart sank and I still get anxious at PSA testing time.
i do hope that your own prospects are more positive now than your profile suggests? I also wish you all the best for the future
Thank you. I think I was pretty realistic about likelihood of recurrence given original Gleason, but I wasn't counting on lack of any effective monitoring by GP. Why this task is outsourced to amateurs I know not!
Clear to me that psa very likely irrelevant in my case so at least I don't worry too much about that!
I'm OK on decapeptyl and darolutamide other than some tiredness and muscle ache. Not expecting a long respite.
Good luck to you two, D.
