I just had my 6 mo. post seeding PSA test. It dropped a little more.
My history is:
Age 57
8/06 PSA 13.8 Gleason 3+4
10/23/06 105 Iodine seeds implanted
11/13/06 Started IMRT
1/3/07 Finished 35 IMRTs
1/23/07 PSA 3.3
4/24/07 PSA 2.2
It looks like it's at least going in the right direction. I feel very
lucky so far. I've had virtually no side effects. No fatigue. Nothing
sexual or rectal and only minor urinary urgency, and that's about gone
now. In fact, it was never bad enough for me to take the first Flomax.
I would attribute all of this to the artistry of my doctor. The right
M.D. makes all the difference in the world.

John, I'd call that 50% drop in three months great! I hope the trend
continues for you.
Congratulations!

ON second glance, I guess it's a decrease of one third, rather than
50%, huh? It's still great.
You might not believe it; but, I was an accountant. One might think
I'd not make silly errors like that. But, I'm retired! What the
heck?

That's great news, John. Let's hope you get to your nadir and stay
there.
No SE's, eh? You're an iron man!
