Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / May 2004Update
Update yesterday: New PSA 0.8, complex, 0.65 I guess that's good. Completed week four of five weeks of EBRT's today coupled with Zoladex since February. Seeds to follow on June 10. Larry Well, it's a damned sight better than 14! I'd say anything than one in less than a month is a hell of a good sign.

I don't stay drained. I had the initial WHUMP in 2000 when dx'd. Then another when my uro told me I still had cancer. Then the other when I realized again that I still had cancer. But, in between, I went from punched in the gut, to pessimistic concern, to hope, and then guarded optimism. I am now approaching, I think, qualified optimism. But, believe me, when it comes back, it will be WHUMP all over again.

I wish you the best. I have been also monitoring my PSA and after 4 years, still have worry? Great for you, and beat the beast....

If you are that low now I wonder where you will fall after the seeds. I'd say you are doing very well!!
