James: Great news. Happy for your score.
One question: Did your doctor request you to get not only the ultra high test and many of them in succession because of the apical margin?

Just a note of caution on the POM extract. Pomegranate fruit naturally causes constipation if taken in sufficient quantity.

Best to you and thanks for the job you do moderating.

Mike S., I began with 4 months after surgery, then moved to 6 months and then 9 months, until it appeared I might be having a little more showing up, so went back to 4 months at the .06 point. I will continue at 4 months for the foreseeable future. I have the advantage of getting psa tests, usually a month apart from both my Uro and my FP doc, so I have two sets of data to compare. I have been able to request more frequent testing without any problems so far. Both of my doctors are very willing to work with me...

I have always gotten the ultra test. I think it's a good compromise between the one point and the three point test.

James, welcome news.
Good to see some numbers like this that look like they might be stabilising.
