Just got the 18-month PSA, it's still <0.1, right where I want it.  As
some of you know, I had LRP on July 15, 2003.  Went in with PSA 4.9,
PSA velocity 0.7, Gleason 6, T1c, 3 out of 12 biopsy cores positive.
Came out with Gleason still 6, all else negative except for a possible
positive margin ("a small 2mm diameter focus barely touching the
margin, no evidence of penetration beyond the margin" sez the doc).
Twenty-five percent cancer by volume.  Still leaking into one pad per
day which by some older studies makes me continent, by others
incontinent.  Somehow I don't feel all that continent but it's not a
big bother - just got to remember to get a package of pads every so
often.  Little Willie, on a scale of 1-10 where 8 is hard enough for
penetration, is about a 7 with Viagra, a 4 without which is all better
than a year ago when all efforts produced a 2 at best.  Cialis and
Levitra don't work as well as Viagra.  I see the uro in a few weeks and
he's supposed to give me the injection stuff then.  Will report on how
that goes.

Life is good, can't complain.  Those low PSAs are a real delight.
