Hi everyone,had blood drawn for my first PSA after radiation on Monday am. Went to my GP today for a flu shot, and he said the lab had sent him a copy as well as my specialist, my GP said ..your PSA is fine, 0.4... ,was hoping for a 0, but at least it is heading in the right direction, seeing my specialist uro next Wednesday, maybe he can give me more info.

regards Mal.

sounds like your PSA is heading the right direction. Stay positive and healthy and you will defeat this giant. Do you take any type of vitamins? If not I would encourage you to find a naturopath that can prescribe a regime that fits your needs. It is amazing how much difference keeping the body healthy makes in your fight.
Please keep us posted as often as you can

may the peace of the Lord be with you

Hi Mal,
Your drop in PSA is a good thing, but you still may be headed for hormone therapy. If so, so be it. I believe that you will get to undetectable through that means. Thay well and as Dale said: Stay Positive...Where'd he get that from anyway...

Thanks Tony & Dale, my GP seems to think that I have nothing to worry about, however it seems that there is still some PSA hanging about in my system, we will see what the specialist has to say on Wed. maybe I will need some other treatment, or maybe the PSA will continue to drop over next 3 months, thankyou for your support, and replies.

Regards Mal.

The good news is it did in fact go down to.4, I too am undergoing salvage radiation and my doctor told me that if he could hold everyone off he'd wait 6 months to see what the reading went to and in fact could take up to a year. So stay positive and on top of things and hopefully it will continue to go down, if not like Tony says we have more options and continue to fight on.
