Hi FiftiesMale, I had about the exact story as Magaboo. As a matter of fact I just got results of my annual PSA today and it was still<0.04 for the 4th test since SRT. My surgeon considers 3 or more...

Congratulations to the two of them! You have to be very proud. Our oldest son just got his Critical Care Nurse Practitioner degree and accepted a position with the trauma team in Tuscon, at the...
I was told to have a full bladder and empty bowel. They would do the ct scan for alignment and check bladder and bowel. This was to keep things out of the radiation field. 24 oz. 1/2 to 1 hour ahead...
68 Gy for mine. I do not know if or what he measured but he did the CT scans and worked up a plan and told me it would be 68. I am at 2 yrs post SRT and just had another <0.04 YEA! good luck David...

Hi Mel I did a total of 68 gy. I am sorry you have to even make any kind of decision on this. Mine is working well so far as I got another <0.04 for my Dec. psa which was @ the 2 year mark. I also...

Hi James, Sorry to hear of your numbers rising. I had 4 rises when mine hit .1. I guess this is an individual decision for each of us. I, like Magaboo, certainly have no regrets on starting SRT when...
Steve, Congrats on the great numbers! Looking forward to seeing many years of them. David...
Great news Jim. A very good way to get ready for fall! David...
Hi Pelahatchie, My response would be the same as Magaboo.......as we have nearly the same time frame. I wish the very best to you and keep us posted from time to time. David...
Hi Sonny, I am very sorry to hear the news about Lynn. I know this is but another bump in the road for ya'll. After the summer we have had I know you were looking forward to some cool...
Todd, This was very well written, heartfelt and inspirational. I can not add anythng to what the others have already said and like Sephie said I am having a hard time seeing the monitor clearly thru...
Sonny, You are 110% correct about the support. Over the years I have had a lot of support at home and from friends but this is a different type of support. We have all been there and that makes all...
Great news Pasayten. I just had my 3rd non-detectable psa post SRT so I know how glad you are. Now to enjoy the summer and on thru the year. Jerry1 I will be pulling for you too!! David...

Congrats on finishing the RT. I had the same RT, 38/68GY, and had no problems. I just had my 3rd PSA draw @ the 18 month mark and it too came back @ <0.04. I had the ultra sensitive test and caught...
Jeff, I agree with Galileo 110% on this. My Doc and I agreed that earlier was better. I had 4 consecutive rises to .1 and had IGRT at that point. I had no problems with my treatments and it went...
Hi Squid, It is all in the timing and you will get it down to the tee, pardon the pun. I had a little tiredness a few weeks in but not any problems. I work construction and never missed a day because...

Hi Larry, I would surely get another PSA and see what it read. If it is 0.45 then I would consult with Rad and Med Oncologist pretty quick. I kept a good psa,<0.04, for 3 years then it started to...

I finished my SRT in January of last year. My PSA dropped to <0.04 immediately and has stayed there. My next check will be in June. I had no problems other than a little tiredness 3 or 4 weeks into...
Hi 41, This is probably just a glitch n the test. I had similar time frame and readings. My Doc said he would not call it recurrence until I had 3 rises, which I did in time. I understand the nerves...
Great news Tony. I hope you and Ruthie enjoyed yourselves and I know you did. I, like the other guys, really appreciate your time and knowledge in helping on this board. I hope everything is going...
