I thought I had just been explaining that so I was stumped for an answer and struggled to think of a better explanation.

About 10 weeks later I had my radical prostatectomy, and my blood tests since have been “PSA not detectable” ever since. <br>To mark this anniversary I’m taking a 30 ml dose of “Swagman’s Ghost” single malt whisky from Yackandandah’s Backwoods Distilling Co.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/cancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cancer</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/prostate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prostate</span></a></p>
