Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / April 20053 year PSA test
Posted and emailed to a few friends Saw the rad-onc doctor yesterday. He said the indicator is 4 year PSA = same PSA at 15 years. Interesting. So may we have a drum roll? Remember this PSA test is 3 years out from IMRT and brachytherapy. Ready?? YES!!!! I'm excited! PSA = 0.04 YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!! Bev Wow! Low score wins! Congratulations! jimhoney > Posted and emailed to a few friends > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!! > Bev Sure sounds terrific!!! Tom > Wow! Low score wins!

Knowing what I do now compared to where I was 4 years ago I realize how important this low number is and I am so thankful.

Steve U Oh, I'm savoring it and hoping it will drop even slightly lower. But at this point I guess it doesn't have to drop any lower - just as long as it doesn't rise, ever! Bev > Beverly, > Wonderful news. Savor it! > Steve U Thanks, Paul. It sure is a nice feeling. Bev > Congratulations, Bev...you guys deserve it! > CPW Great news Bev, Your on the way to 15 years.

I trust that also holds true for RRP - actually, I've always heard that the benchmark for RRP is 5 years. Once you get that far you've got it made in all but a rare case. I had my blood draw for my (Lucky) 13th post-RRP PSA test. Last one was still <0.1 using the test they switched to. Before that it was <0.03 using the hyper-sensitive PSA assay. Friday or Monday I should have the results which, hopefully, will reflect the previous tests. Today was five years, five weeks and a handful of days post-op Crossing my fingers for another good PSA test result. Hey, I believe, you can now give blood and donate organs you've past the magical 5 year mark if this PSA comes in as good as the last!
