Diet and Exercise

Thanks Lynn, Although reading your profile I had missed any comment on Jon’s age. We all get so swept up in our own case and the situation that we sometimes forget other peoples problems.

When I spoke to my assigned cancer nurse  at my recent review when she told me about my 0.2 reading  I asked her about where I go from here in relation to my opening reading of 38 to my current 0.2 PSA reading.

 She told me she had been a nurse for 30 years and even though I stop HT this October she said with my progress and post RT  prognosis it was extremely unlikely that my cancer would come back.

 But I am under no illusion as to where I am going from here especially looking at Pete W’s post.

I am not refuting an oncologists prognosis on my situation, but with the reality of what could happen, I might be 0.2 now but I’m still on hormone therapy until October and nobody knows what will happen once I stop the therapy.

I am totally realistic about where I am going from now until after I stop formal HT and where I go on from there I will keep everybody on here updated to aid them in looking at their own situation

That seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding - NHS position is that remission is 10 years progression free, not 5 years. Anyone getting to 5 years should celebrate but never take their eye off the ball - my dad was undetectable for 13 years but it still came back. 

Your PSA is holding low and steady on HT and your team will be looking for your nadir around 18 months post-RT - if you are no longer on HT at that point then it will be your true nadir which will be fine as long as it is under 2.0

I have good vibes for you, my friend 

Ah no, I meant it the other way - that he is younger AND 7 years post-treatment so the Ride London 100 is not as challenging as you doing the 57 miler 🚴‍♂️👍
