That's a load off my mind. I think I was more scared to hear the first PSA results than I was to go in for the biopsy results. Only 4-5 more years to go now. Hats off to Dr. Wilson at City of Hope.

Fantastic - Congrats. That's the news we want to hear. I understand the fear you had for the first PSA. I called the lab to get my results (did not want to wait a week for the Uro appointment) and was having trouble dialing the phone. Wanted to hear the results and yet did not want to hear the results. So critical to get a clean PSA on that first one. Go have a Good Friday beer and celebrate !
