And....  after a few anxious days of waiting,  it has come in unchanged (for the past 3 years) at 0.03 again this time. We are more than happy with that.

My husband has experienced a full recovery after his diagnosis in late 2006 and surgery on April 17, 2007. We started annual PSA's a few years ago and will stick with that while it remains unchanged at 0.03. Meanwhile I will keep encouraging the daily pomegranate juice mixed with a good spoonful of modified citris pectin as it sure isn't doing any harm! We have a wonderful GP who understands PSA anxiety. Today is Sunday and she is closed, but she phoned anyway to let us know the good news, since the results came in over the weekend.

Good luck to everyone else awaiting test results. cheers, Lana tongue

Lana, That’s wonderful news. That reading keeps your husband in the infamous “zero” club. That’s a good thing. Kudos to your GP for calling you on Sunday. Don’t hear of that very often. Lynn

Thanks Guys and Girls. The good things about PSA anxiety for us, is that the PSA elation continues for the same amount of time when we get a good report, and yes, we are still very happy little vegemites today. Having said that, I know all of you who have responded will lend help and support should the results one day be different. We take nothing for granted, and thank you for the bottom of our upside down little hearts. cheers, Lana

PS Kev, although you drink the wrong beer, you can have a Darwin stubbie (my husband says that is 2 litres) - several pints! We have one here but have never opened it... maybe save it for your visit?
