Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / May 200412 month post Proton (only) Radiation Treatment PSA result
God has blessed me with a 1.1 psa result and the rad doc could not feel any nodules from the DRE. Keith Lundy/So. California 40 Proton Beam Radiation Treatments Loma Linda Univ.Med Ctr..3/03-5/03 Just super, Keith.....we are thrilled to hear you did so well!!!

California > 40 Proton Beam Radiation Treatments > Loma Linda Univ.Med Ctr..3/03-5/03 that's great news keith and many, many more low psa's to come. i've tried to email but it bounces saying it's full. guess you're using that addy to catch all the spam. ~ curtis knowledge is power - growing old is mandatory - growing wise is optional "Many more men die with prostate cancer than of it. Growing old is invariably fatal. Prostate cancer is only sometimes so." Thanks Heather and Palmer! Love you all! I don,t post much because of the spammers stealing the e-mail addresses from the postings. I sold my home in two days last month and will close escrow on May 25th, move out on May 28th, stay at the RV Resort until moving into the newly being built home around June 15th. God continues to bless. Keith Lundy/So. California 40 Proton Beam Radiation Treatments Loma Linda Univ.Med Ctr..3/03-5/03 Oh, Keith that sounds wonderful!! Nothing like a positive PSA report and a new home!!! You are one very lucky man!!! As Nike says "Just do it!" Just stay away from all those wild fires!! Bev > Thanks Heather and Palmer! Love you all!

Very good Keith. I wish you many more. Since you're about the only regular poster who has tried proton beam, maybe you can tell us your thoughts about other after effects - urinary or sexual side effects, radiation burns, hemorrhoids, other complications, etc. The advocates of proton beam therapy seem to think that side effects are equal to or less than other forms of radiation. I know you haven't had other forms and so can't compare them, but I'd be interested to hear about your experience. Alan Thank you all for your kind words. I look forward to having low PSA's but I do understand that other issues may or may not occur. I have yet to have problems with urination, rectal bleeding, radiation burns, or hemorrhiods. I have errections but the orgasms are not what they used to be. The good thing is that my female friend is completely understanding. The Proton Beam Therapy Treatment at Loma Linda was a wonderful experience and thus far, as promised, the results are more than I could have ever imagined. My PSA was 6.4 in October 2002...two months after teatment it was 4.0...six months after 2.6 and now 1.1...life is good at age 59. Keith Lundy/So.

My PSA was 6.4 in October 2002...two > months after teatment it was 4.0...six months after 2.6 and now > 1.1...life is good at age 59. That's a great trend. I'd rather have 4, 2.6, 1.1 any time over 0.1, 0.15, 0.2. Your PSA may go down further. But who cares whether it does or not? The main thing is that it doesn't go up. |
