Hi All,

I had previously always drove 250 miles to my original hospital for post SRT PSA tests to use the same lab, but decided this year to use the local doc and services as things seemed stable and well the last few years. Also verified that they used a good "mainstream" lab.

I had this test 11/4/2013, 45 months post SRT, and PSA was <0.02 (undetectable for the lab).

Still in Zero Club and raising an Epiphany Pale Ale from the Old Schoolhouse Brewery to my fellow PCa brothers...

Also lifting up in prayer for wisdom, comfort, and healing for all my brothers wherever they are on their PCa journey.

Hi Pasayten,

This is great news!

Galileo, TC-Las Vegas and I were wondering about others that have gone through the ART and SRT paths in the thread ...

"SRT and ART survivors! How are you doing?"

https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=35&m=2891355

It would be great if you could post your update there as well!


All the best,

Joe.

Thank you PCa brothers for all the comments and well wishes... There can be hope through the SRT process. :-)

I pray that all of you will find a successful path through this dang PCa beast and all its complications.

Blessings,

Hi Pasayten,

Congratulation again on your great post-SRT results.

In your signature, your post-SRT PSA values are shown as
0.01 with the less than sign. Do you know which ultra-sensitive assay was used? Was the one by the Siemens Centaur system, the Roche Eclia, or yet another?

All the best,

Robot.

Pasayten, glad to hear you are doing well. I had SRT about the same time you did, can't remember now if it was before or after you. Life is good, have been <0.1 since.

Robot, per your suggestion, I posted in the thread that you referenced to throw my experience into the hat.

Robot, Not sure of the equipment used for each test. All the ones with 0.01 were taken at Virginia Mason Hospital in Seattle where my treatments occurred. The 0.01 values did not have the "<" sign in front of them. The most recent <0.02 was taken at my local family doc in Winthrop and was sent out to a lab in Wenatchee or Spokane. I will see if I can track down the equipment/methods.
