Hoping for good result

Best of luck. Hoping for a no increase for you.

Good luck Ed. If it doesn’t turn out well are considering salvage RT?

Yes i'm considering salvage radIaition if my PSA shows an increase. By the way, It was my mistake regarding the last psa, it was .038 NOT .38.

you've had a good run I hope it ticks back down.

Roger

YAY!!!

Great news.

With the prostate gone, sex shouldn't affect the result. Same for the antibiotic.

Andrew

Ed,

Really happy for that excellent report!

As you said, who knows or cares why? But, personally, I would like to know why these jumps and dips occur, esp. to the degree you and I have seen. It's more than normal statistical variation on an admittedly sensitive test. If we only knew more about what was going on, we'd be better positioned to respond. Well, maybe some day.

For now, celebrate!

btw, what did your doc say about frequency of future tests? Every six mths?

Robert

it's hard to know what's going on. But whatever it is, lol, I've got some of it myself. Right when ya think it's doin' one thing, it does another.

It's nothin' to complain about though lol

Good on ya Ed. I'm happy for ya.

Thank you for your support. The only other possibility can be is that the lab didn't do the Ultra sensitive PSA but the doctor assured me that it was the UPSA. I repeated the question every time and got the same answer from him. I'll be seeing him next week and will complain to him about the lab they use and the anxiety they put me thru for a year.

let it lie...for goodness sake...
