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.

James, that is good news. Have a glass of pomegranate on me.
