Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / January 200718-month report with seeds
I thought I'd report my latest PSA test for those interested in the outcome of one case of brachytherapy (seeds). Began at 3.19 (with Proscar, so these figures must be doubled) 3 months: 1.44 6 months: 1.02 12 months: .46 18 months: .34 Still have frequent urination plus occasional bowel control problems, but no other symptoms. >I thought I'd report my latest PSA test for those interested in the > outcome of one case of brachytherapy (seeds).

That's exactly the trend we would all ideally like to see. Alan >I thought I'd report my latest PSA test for those interested in the > outcome of one case of brachytherapy (seeds).

Thanks for the feedback. My surgeon wanted me to go to only once-a-year PSA tests, but I insisted on continuing to do one every six months, and I find these results quite reassuring. I assume the curve will continue to flatten out, and I've been warned that there may be minor bumps up which won't be significant unless they form a trend. Those numbers look great!
