Hi everyone, went to the uro for three month discussion of PSA etc. he said that he was very pleased with the 0.4 reading and that he felt I was stabalising, as there has been no really dramatic change in the PSA levels, and the rogue cells that had been irradiated should be dying slowly.
So I am feeling quite comfortable at the moment, almost feeling like my old self.
Regards Mal.
