Hi !

Some of you may remember my previous posts here.

My father had his prostate surgery in May of 2000. He was 55 at the time.
His Gleason score was 7 (3+4). His pre-op PSA was 2.15. Post-RP pathology
report showed that he had two positive margins at the surgery + peri-neural
invasion was present. Gleason score was confirmed to be 7 (3+4).

In any case, my dad received his latest post-RP PSA yesterday (March 2004).
Almost 4 years after the surgery my father's PSA is 0.04.

We are so happy with this result. All this time his PSA has been moving up
and down between <0.02 and =0.08 (it never reached 0.1). This is very
encouraging taking into account the fact that he had 2 positive margins + a
very high Gleason score.

To all people who have just been diagnosed, please do not despair. Even if
your post-RP pathology is not the best, there is still hope that the cancer
has been stopped early enough.

All the best and undetectable PSAs to all.
