Thanks for sharing, Andrew. You have a way with words that bring the feeling of the moment to life. I still think about your poem where the owner of a dog, that they had to put to sleep, was walking...
6 years after haing seeds implanted. All is good. Latest PSA is <0.1 I feel well. The only question I ask myself is did I do the right thing by treating PCa? If I had it to do over, with a G6, I...
Very nicely put. Especially reliant, as I have an appointment for Saturday to put our 16 year old dog down. Doing it Saturday so the family can be there. Still having second thoughts. She is not...
Although I had LDR, I had a lot of bounces too. Take a look at my signature. You can also read my running commentary, although it became rather long. Keep the faith....
I had seeds 6+ years ago. It was simple and really no SE. I could not have done surgery after watching the operation on youtube (not an easy operation and thus you really need the best surgeon), and...
Great news! Enjoy your shop and writing your blog....
Take your time and be at peace with your decision. I would get second opinions on the slides and treatment. You only have one shot at this. You can read what I went through by clicking on the link in...

Over, Always good to hear news like that. Jeff and I share a similar bouncy PSA decline. I will be 6 years out this summer and only hope I have the same decline as Jeff had. I'm happy for you both,...
I really hope this works for you. I don't know why, but I think it will!...
I was just listening to an interview with Kitty Dukakis and how much it helped her. She felt better after one treatment, but continued to have them. I hope that this treatment helps you....
Best of luck. Sounds like you have found a good doctor and that is important. It took me a while to make a decision and was glad when I did. I felt like I weighed all my options and made the best...

I second the recommendation on Dr. Brian Moran. I did not have my procedure done by him, but did talk to him on a consultation. I was very impressed with him. He even gave me his home phone number...

I really don't know enough to offer an opinion, but just wanted to say that it sucks that you are going through this again. It's tough enough to go through once. Seems as if there are good options...

Had my annual physical last week and my PSA was 0.3 I get a bit anxious when it's "that time" of the year, but happy with the results...this year. This is a great site with many knowledgeable and...
Under 'close monitoring' what would the tipping point that treatment would be warranted?...
What if they called G6 an abnormal prostate, rather than a cancerous prostrate. Would as many people aggressively treat it if they didn't hear the 'C' word? I can't change my decision, but I look at...
I'm glad that you are being treated for PTSD. I was never in the armed forces, and I can only imagine what a kid having gone through war, could not be changed by it. I think everyone who comes home...
Andrew, you always make me smile. :)...
Good question. I have, had G6 and was treated with seeds almost five years ago. Although, so far I have had a good outcome, with really no SE, I still question myself if I should have been treated at...
Take you time and be comfortable with your decision. There are no do-overs and it can be a life changer. It's shock when you get the "news", but read all you can, talk to a urologist and a...

Purg, As always I feel for you having to go through all that you do. In your last post you mentioned... "What I wouldn't give to be able to go to John Hopkins and have a real group of doctor's trying...
Over, That is great news. I know the bounces have caused some anxiety over the years, but it's the end result that counts and a count with a ZERO in front of it is a good ending! I'm happy for you...
I wonder the same thing. I think Andrew is right though. It seems to be very varied. Look at Yoopers quick drop and mine taking 4 years to get below zero, with some bumps along the road....

Paul, I was only really worried once, but wished it would have come down more quickly as some of the other guys have. But down is good and I always tried to look at the downward pattern. The drop to...
That is great! I hope I'm around for my daughters wedding. It's a bitter sweet moment. One every dad looks forward to, but it's an emotional time. Congrats to you and your daughter. Enjoy your...
