Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / May 2004PSA back again.
Curt's PSA is back down a hair. to 17.25. That may just be the lowest it goes. he is going to slow down a bit at work and get rid of some headaches and we'll just hope that it stays around 17 for 5++++++ years. BTW his testosterone was 14 so he is blocked enough with his quarterly Lupron and daily Casodex. Thanks for this group. It is a nice place to talk about this w/o having to start at the beginning all the time.

I'm so glad to hear that Curt got a good report!! I hope the PSA will stay down that low for many, many years to come. And in the meantime, perhaps a new treatment or cure will come along! All the best to you! MikeH > Curt's PSA is back down a hair. to 17.25.

I hope it continues downward and stays low. DF > Curt's PSA is back down a hair. to 17.25.

Is he using a bisphosphonate like Zometa too, along with Rocaltrol? If I'm remembering correctly, I think he is, but I thought I'd ask...Best wishes and good health, Ron > Curt's PSA is back down a hair. to 17.25.

About a week ago Curt slipped on a bath toy in the shower and FELL!! He could have broken a leg, hip, arm.. the cancer is in all of those bones so I consider us very lucky.. Best wishes and good health to you also.

You're both constantly in my prayers. 17.25 seems like really good news. And, should it stay that way for a few years, who's complaining?
