	That's wonderful news -non detectable! Can you believe it has been almost a year? Sorry you're heading down the road to a sling. We may join in one of these days, but not quite ready. Will be very eager to hear how that goes. Husband age 66 PSA on 5/1/06: 4.2 (had doubled in 13 mos. and rising monthly) DaVinci Surgery 8/2/06 - Austin, TX w/Dr. Randy F.A.G.I.N. T2a (at biopsy) At pathology - cancer cell leakage into fatty tissue Post-Surgical PSA on 10/06, 4/07 - undetectable! Update: 11/1/06 - perhaps bladder neck involvement; 30%-50% chance of recurrence Future: PSA tests twice-yearly for now - Next one: 10/16/07 Back to Top

	Hi Daveed, Geez, they're coming out of the woodwork. This last couple weeks some of our older brethren, you, kziz, Mozart, etc. have returned to say hi. And good to hear from you too. Good numbers and hopefully good results with the incontinance. Take care and don't forget to let us know how the sling works. Tony Age 45 (44 when Dx) Pre-op PSA was 19.8 Surgery on Feb 16, 2007 Post-Op Pathology was poor: Gleason 4+3=7, 4 positive margins, Stage pT3b (Stage III) HT began in May, '07 with Lupron and Casodex 50mg IMRT radiation for 38 Treatments ending August 3, '07 My PSA did drop out after surgery to undetectable. It has not returned and I will continue HT until January '08. My Life is supported very well by family and friends like you all. STAY POSITIVE! Back to Top

	I'm really glad to hear about the PSA, sorry about the sling. I expect that you will do well. I thank you for all the help you were to me a year ago. Regards, Bill August of 2006, PSA up to 4.2 from 2.7 one year ago. October free and total PSA 12% free and 5.0 total. A month, or so later, 4.7. Late in the year decide on Image Guided IMRT. Begin 43 treatments on January 23, 2007 and finish on March 23. Four month post treatment PSA is 1.9. (This is a very good result.) No side, or after effects. None. I have aged a year and am now 63. How did that happen? Back to Top
