Doc walks in and say "You're cancer free!"
Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2011 6:20 pm
I went in for my first 3 month PSA visit this morning and the docs says "Good news, you're cancer free"! PSA number is 0.04 (undetectable) as of 7 days ago when I gave them the blood sample. I'm hoping it's the first of many undetectable results. He also told me that because I'm responding well to low doses of injection drugs the nerves are in pretty good shape and the ED situation should gradually improve-but, of course no guarantees.
