Glad that's behind you.  Now to look forward...

That's the sort of news we like to see/read/hear about. That's as good - if not better - as winning the lottery.
As you obviously are, I'm really happy for you mate. I know exactly what it's like to see a zero PSA reading  :thumbsup

Thanks everyone for your encouragement and support for us on this on-going journey.  Since 2010, I've had the dreaded surgery, two rounds of radiotherapy, one round of chemo, and on-going hormone therapy, but still consider myself lucky.   PSA reviews every three months will now be ongoing.

I've purposely been very public about my journey with prostate cancer in the hope that it might give strength and encouragement to others in OzSTOC who I know are also on this journey.   Stay positive and strong, lean on friends, family and your faith, and even if things are not going the way you would wish, know that you are well supported and cared for by skilled medicos and those who you count as your closest and dearest.  If you want a chat, PM me and I'll send you my number.
