I am sooo blessed ..I just received my PSA results and I am still undetectable ..side effects Are 1-2 pads a day which I don’t think is that big a deal and I can still get an erection radiation and salvage surgery i did lose a little length about an but all in I am very pleased with the outcome. God gave me a second chance to conquer this beast and hopefully I did. God bless everybody and I’m not only making October breast month I’m pushing it to be prostate cancer awareness month as well.

    Yes, fighter. Congratulations for these last results.

    You create hope in many attending this forum to follow with a salvage surgery after RT when such becomes required.

    Wish you many more of those undetectable tests in the years to come.

    thank you all for the support.. yeah it was a struggle. Many of you know way back when it seemed like when I was flip-flopping between radiation and surgery I think I drove a lot of people on this forum crazy but you know you can’t go back and I truly do believe that I should’ve removed it first but I didnt and it all worked out and I want to share my experiences with people, especially with being cribiform I’m living in four months at a time and I hope that I beat it, but you never know and I am a firm believer that cribi form is radiation resistant and i tell people you have to get it decipher and if it is cribi form, you must trust me and believe me it is radiation resistant I’ve been through it so thanks again. I wish everybody the best keep fighting.
