	In another thread Octorobo said: Don't be discouraged, I am T3a- clear margins- at 15 months past surgery constant PSA .004 ( four readings at three month interval) - 4.5 before surgery GS3+4=7- Robotic surgery in 2007- going in two weeks for 21 month check up- expecting .004 again. My doctor said it's like real estate, location, location, location- that pesky cancer was just too close to the edge - not what we wanted but so far so good. You have a great doctor with good results. Post Edited (TC-LasVegas) : 5/4/2009 12:45:51 PM (GMT-6) Back to Top
