I, similar to many of you, have both benign prostatic hyperplasia
(BPH) and prostate cancer (PCa). Some of you may be interested in my
new, non-commercial BPH website, which describes my
experiences with BPH and presents what I have learned about it. The
site's address is:

http://www.ljblgb.com/

Here's a digest of my two prostate disorders: Currently 75 years old,
PCa dx'd Nov 2000 with PSA of 5.7 and Gleason of 3 + 3, read by Dr.
D. Bostwick.  Active Surveillance supervised by Dr. M. Scholz.  Diet,
Avodart, & Flomax.  No other intervention. PSA on 4/20/06 was 2.60.
BPH--my enlarged prostate is 84 cc, last measured on 2/3/06 by a
color-doppler/black-and-white ultrasound scan by Dr. D. Bahn.

Best Wishes,
Lawrence J. Bookbinder

Lawrence, you were diagnosed 6 years ago, and with no intervention your psa
dropped from 5.7 to 2.6.  How do you explain this?

til...Lawrence mentioned earlier that he is using avodart
(dutasteride).  Avodart typically reduces PSA levels by about 50%...ron
