PSA Update: 06/28/2011

I have GREAT NEWS to report!  The PSA results are in, and they are: 0.1 ng/ml

And this is exactly what doc Chan had told me to expect.  Since reality can be different than the dream state I currently reside, I was waiting for some awful scenario to make itself known.  But instead I got this wonderful news that the surgery was a complete success.  Yay!

Here is the stuff that caused me great consternation: the IF’s.

  • IF the surgery successfully removed ALL of the cancer-laden prostate
  • IF the cancer had not spread to a distant organ
  • IF the blood test came back negative for PSA
  • IF I was now “cancer free”

then and only then would I have a PSA in the nearly undetectable arena of zero-point-something instead of the upward trending #’s I was accustomed to seeing.

So, here I am happily typing away this entry and letting you know that the numbers of 0.1 ng/ml substantiate Dr. Chan’s claim of “I got it all”.  Meaning the cancer is gone.  Meaning…..all I need to do now is get myself healed up.  And it is true, I can finally relax and get on with life.  Get back to living and doing that thing I do.

Thanks for your interest and positive thoughts, they helped!
