My dad had his lab draws on Monday to check his PSA after having his prostate removed on my birthday in Feb, following his Dx of prostate cancer.  Today he had his conference call  appointment with his Urology Oncologist.

No detectable levels of PSA!!!! 

Which means no indications that the cancer mastastisized elswhere in his body.  Now he has to have 5 biannual PSA blood tests and he will be declared cured.    2.5 years from now we will put this entirely to rest.

Today after getting the lab results, my 77yo dad climbed 100 flights of stairs and lifted weights.  He has added sit ups back into his work outs recently and during his  conference call appointment he and the Doc had a Q&A session on his bladder control.  Dad told his doc he is at about 80% regarding bladder control and stopped wea ring the depends a few weeks ago and wears liners in lieu of Depends with rare "accidents".

Doc said he is right on track for recovery from the surgery if not ahead of the curve.

Looks like I will have mom .... and dad well into my 60s.  

What a great day.  Smiling tears of grattitude for my dad's recovery from cancer.

TYG!
