Ray Walsh - 19 May 2004 07:20 GMT

Saw my urologist a couple of hours ago for a checkup after 4 years.

He said that he didn't want to see me again unless the PSA went up.

While there are no guarantees, he reckons I should be OK

But... I'll still have the anxiety increase associated with the PSA test.

Glad to hear the good news Ray. I guess once you get the PC you never stop
being anxious over a PSA test. John has had 3 since his RPP and we've been
nervous every time.

That's great news! Having had my surgery a week before you, I wish my uro
had said that to me.
