5 Years later...

I can't believe its been 5 years since my diagnosis. Time really does fly by. A lot of positive things have happened since my diagnosis but the best thing is my latest PSA test came back >0% which means I have officially survived 5 years and the chances of recurrence have decreased. I have actually been released by my attending urologist back to a normal annual PSA test from my local physician. I am feeling great these days and I am still running, exercising and I am training to participate in my first Ironman 70.3 Relay in May. I am riding the bike leg of the relay and am really looking forward to getting a taste of the Ironman races. I am also signing up a the Goofy Marathon and a Half for January 2014 which is running a Half Marathon on Saturday and a Full Marathon on Sunday. I really love challenges and this is my next step! Hopefully this site continues to give others hope as I will never forget the day I was diagnosed. It was the darkest day of my life, but reflecting over the past 5 years it has turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I just regret that it took this life changing event for me to live life without fear and do things I never dreamed I could do or accomplish. God bless you all in whever you are with your journey and always keep the faith! Darren
