Hi Gang:
Another update. Just had my six month checkup after the last Zoladex
Needle and my PSA is still undetectable. Though since the hot flashes
(milder now) is still there I'm assuming that some Zoladex is still
there? In six months I go  back again for another checkup but I suppose
that is what prostate cancer is all about a waiting game.

hi ben - glad to hear the good news and wish you many, many more of
those undetectable reports.

Congratulations!

Let us know how your next PSA test goes. Three years is a long time to be
battling the beast. I'm sure you will be happy to have all the Zoladex out
of your system.
Bev
