Some of you may have noticed I've been a bit cranky lately (what's new you all say).
Well, after a nine month battle with level 7 prostate cancer I had my final post-op consultation with my specialist today.
My blood tests taken last week show a PSA level of
UNDETECTABLE




In addition, after having a robotic assisted radical prostatectomy, he said I had achieved his "trifecta".
That is:
1 - Cancer gone (prostate too

)
2 - No Incontinence post surgery

3 - No erectile impairment




I'll still need follow-up reviews for a while, but the weight off my mind has been lifted and I'm almost normal again
The point of my post?
I know that there are many on this forum in the danger years, and, if you haven't done so already, my wish is that you get your doctor to check your PSA count, and even have your DRE (I won't spell it out).
A moment or two of discomfort is a small price to pay!
And even for our younger men, having regular tests (yearly) gives a history which can give very early indications and allow early intervention and hopefully you won't have to go down the track that I did.
So there you go folks, my Darlin' is bringing home a special bottle of "medicine" to celebrate tonight
And now all of you, off to see your doctor.
Cheers
Jim
