PSA undetectable 50 months!

Hello all,
I just returned from CTCA for my 4 month check-up from the neck up(and down).
My bloodwork came back great. Their Lab changed their lower detection value, so my PSA came in at <0.015, which I guess is lower than my previous PSAs,their old standard lower limit of <0.06. So let's just say undetectable once again for 50 months, in remission of Stage 4 advanced cancer.

The AST and ALT Liver functions are still good and the only side effects of Zytiga seem to be fatique,(and erroding typing skills) but I am still working full time and still trying to keep up with working around the home. The only low end values on bloodwork were low RBC of 3.85 (slightly anemic) and low hematocrit and low values for hemoglobin. My Doc says not to worry too much about the low RBC.

I met some good folk at CTCA, many with similar stories like mine. One exceptionally inspiring young lady battling stage 3 breast cancer, currently in remission for 4 years. She and I talked about getting to the Celebration of Life event at the center next year.(for 5 year survivors) She said she never thought that this day would come when she was first dianosed in 2013, let alone now having a two year old child. The future is bright!

It's all about the others that surround our lives and how we interact with them that is important to me now.
A true Christmas blessing for me this year,and as always, keep the faith,
Wings aka Dan in So Cal

Nothing like good news..Congrats..

Thanks to all who replied,that was really special to know I have many friends here.
I dont usually like to bump my own thread up, but hey why not, trying anything to catch Andrew's 10,000 posts.
Andrew -500 months sure why not? I'll be 102 years old then! I might catch you then.
Logo- Jealousy yes, be wary of it, sometimes I'm jealous of myself...no strike that... that's not really possible and a bit too egocentric of me. need to be humble.

Billy Bob-Sorry for my profile confusion, I changed it to reflect I'm still on Zytiga for the past 53 months, was on Lupron for about 25 months but I am currently on a "Lupron Vacation" for the past 2 years.

That's a great long term response to hormone therapy. Here's to years and years more!!
