Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / June 2005PSA Four Years Post Seeding
Just got my 4 year PSA result. Fourth straight semi-annual reading at <0.1. Uro says I'm "pretty much home free", and after one more year I can cut PSA testing to once per year. I had seeding only, no hormone therapy or EBRT, based on RadOnc's belief that cancer was caught early and confined. I credit excellence of RadOnc/Uro team for the successful treatment, and a diligent and skilled Family Doctor for catching it early and giving good advice on treatment. Treatment was easy (in and out same day), recovery wasn't bad at all (no catheter, I drove 2.5 hrs home from VA the next day), never any incontinance, no effect on potency or libido.
