Hi Guys and Gals!
Just thought I'd check in with a bit of good news. As of the 7th I'm have officially been in the Zero Club for 5 years. My latest PSA was again undetectable, and for a guy who started out with a PSA of nearly 28, Gleason 7 and has only had RP for treatment, I feel especially blessed.
Still working on the ED issues, trimix works well, but viagra is a hit and miss. I realize that my outcome is really the exception to the rule, my Urologist told me he's never had anyone with a starting PSA as high as mine that didn't have a reoccurrence within 6 months to a year, and it's really sunk in how lucky I am.
I now go to annual PSA tests rather than semi-annual which means I only have to lose sleep once a year after the blood is drawn rather than twice a year.
I keep you all in my thoughts and prayers, and though I don't post often, I lurk nearly every day and go through you ups and downs with you.
Peace my friends.

Congratulations. I have been wondering how you've been doing. I'm five years out and recall your posers over the years. Happy you are doing well.

Ralph,
That is one great 5 year story, and so happy you have been spared from recurrence for so long. Hope it stays that way for many years to come.
We celebrate your good news with you.
