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.
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%.
