in Prostate Cancer #1

Well, it has been around 6.5 years since my RALP. My latest (09/03/2024) PSA results: <0.1ng/ml. To best of my knowledge that is still undetectable. I get tested once a year. I will be 74 years old this month. This is a journey for us. I am still continent. I still enjoy trying to catch my wife every once in a while, but she is awfully fast. I have been retired around 10 years now. My wife and I camped for around 8 years of that 10 and now we are focusing on ourselves and grandchildren. I do not get on this site as much as I used to. My journey started with a Gleason of 4+3=7. My PSA was a little over 4 at the time (pre-surgery). My post surgery biopsy results, I would say, were as clean as a whistle. We never let this cancer get in the way of our Quality of Life. So with that, best of everything for all of you folks.

    Thank you for your words of encouragement to the site members and congrats to a long and continuing Quality of life ahead. Hearing how well and active you are doing at 74 is where I want to be, currently 70, having had my RALP three weeks ago today.

    Hi,

    Congrats lighterwood, following right behind you. Just went to the doctor and my PSA has been .05 for three years(yearly tests). You have provided a lot of encouragement to folks over the years.
