Lucky number 13

It’s been quite a while since I’ve visited here, so hi to all. Yesterday was the 13th anniversary of my RP at NYU. Figured that was a good day for my annual PSA test. Results are back and PSA is undetectable. Very grateful. Wishing all here the best possible health!

Thanks. I remember it well. Both biopsy and final pathology were 3+3=6, PSA 3.7.

Wonderful news Frack

Thank you, all. I was 54 when I had my surgery. Had I been 67 like now, I’d probably have chosen active surveillance, but at 54 I couldn’t see what could hopefully be 30-40 years of daily worry. MRI had only just begun being used for PCa and was not yet ready for prime time and annual biopsies didn’t sound like something I could psychologically handle. So I picked a surgeon and had the sucker cut out. Over the years, the period of PSA anxiety has become shorter each year. I realize that so far I’ve been lucky compared to many others. Cancer sucks and I hope that the medical system comes up with a cure soon. There’s so much more science now. Again, best health to all.
