Ongoing Prostate Cancer Treatment

-hangs head in shame-

You’re correct, my brain went sideways on hearing the good news. Of course, most of the post still applies about the whole adulting thing, and that it’s nice to see how your efforts are paying off.

Doesn’t mean I didn’t post foolishly, so where did I leave that hair shirt?

It is hard to keep track of all these tests. These two I have been extra aware of, of late, but there are plenty, I’m just glad they’re in the normal range and I don’t know what they are really.

Woo-hoo! That is excellent!

An A1c of 6.1 is perfectly respectable, and the fact that it has come down is also cause for major celebration!

Bravo all around. :partying_face:

Bravo!

an excellent report! woot!

Yeah, 3 months after I finished my radiation, my PSA was actually undetectable. Now, over 2 years later, it’s risen to 0.04, slightly above undetectable. For my case (Gleason 4+5. PSA = 5.42 cT2aN0M0 pre treatment) if the PSA stays less than 0.5 in the long run, that’s an excellent result. If it stays below 2, that’s an acceptable result. Over 2 and we start a search for recurrences. Chance of that is estimated as about 15%.

Thank you so much and sorry to bother.

It’s no bother, my friend.

Good news indeed! Glad to hear you’re starting to feel normal again.

Oh congrats! That’s excellent news.

Wonderful news. Enjoy the time off from the prostate treatments.

Best news I’ve heard all day! (Granted, it’s not even 9am here yet..)

Seriously though, yay!
