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!

Great News!
When your up to it, we’ll have to go out and have an adult beverage to celebrate. In the mean time, keep up the healing…
an “adult beverage”……sounds great! I look forward to the opportunity!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!! Man oh man! WHEW! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! We love you! Nan n Cliff
Thank you for the support Sis…..”WHEW” is right! Up next: massive quantities of bike riding and much needed weight loss. You know I gained 10 lbs since October? TEN POUNDS!! Maybe that will be my topic….hmm. Stay tuned.
woo hoo! Great news – though I can’t help thinking this will give you an unfair advantage on the bike. Some of us have to make do with old guy prostate issues – and you are lucky enough to have yours removed!
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say, this surgery is not for wimps. It hurted me! That said, I wonder how you figured out that I did this for the added benefits on the bike? I’ll be able to hold that Time Trial Crouch for as long as my lower back and lungs can handle. how did you know??
In his quest for world cycling dominance, Lance was only willing to sacrifice some “low hanging fruit” – so to speak. You on the other hand went right for the root of the matter.
Wow!
Get healed up buddy. We need to ride sooner rather than later.
