The header says it all, I just got my two year anniversery PSA results back.
I feel cured, but I know it can always come back. Incontinence is not a
problem but erections are still mostly elusive. Injections work, but are not
all that satisfying.

But life is good. I plan to retire at the end of this year and it is good
knowing that I don't have to worry (much) about PCa.

That's a great feeling alright, but don't let your guard down, David. I
assume your uro wants you to maintain quarterly PSA checks so if it
returns, you catch it early. I've never heard a uro say PC is "cured"
until MAYBE 15 years post-op, if then.
