Cucumber Powdery Mildew

I noticed some powdery mildew on my cucumber plant yesterday, and I clipped the leaf off and today, I clipped three more leaves off that seemed to be infected.

I have a couple questions:
1. Is clipping the leaf off okay? I don't want to stress the plant to much, but I also don't want the powdery mildew to spread at a more rapid pace.
2. I used Fungicide 3 to treat the plant, have any others found this to work?
3. How long does PM affect the plant after it is not longer apparent on the plant? What I mean is that when I am no longer seeing the PM, will my plant still be stressed because of it?

I'd hate to lose this cucumber plant, it is HUGE and I just picked my third cuke off of it today.
