Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / October 2007Four Month Post Proton Treatment PSA
Paul had his first (four month) post proton treatment PSA test yesterday. We got the results directly from the lab (Quest) this morning. His reading was 1.2. The Loma Linda radiation oncologist had said to expect the four month number to be between 1.5-2.0, given that his highest pre-treatment PSA (taken at Quest) was 3.5 on 1/17/07 (3.14 retaken at the VA lab on 2/13/07). A little lower is better! The next test is in six months. That is Loma Linda's protocol -- first test at four months and every six months thereafter until five years. We feel that we can breathe again until the end of March. Carol congrats......paul's psa will continue to drop...my latest a few months ago was 0.64....i completed treatment in may 2004 at loma linda....i hope paul joined BOB and receives the monthly newsletter.....i was a regular poster here for several years..... > i hope paul > joined BOB and receives the monthly newsletter.....i was a regular poster > here for several years..... Hi Keith: Yes, Paul has joined BOB and receives the monthly newsletters. The newly designed newsletter is quite impressive, IMO. Carol the new news letter is really outstanding...lot of work and fine tuning help.....i am not 7th day adventist and selected proton treatment at loma linda based upon their stellar world renown advances in a variety of medical areas, especially for children and their international heart institute....the enormous amount of money invested in the beams and centers throughout the nation and the ones plans in other parts of the world shows that they are dedicated to the best treatment for all cancer period....loma linda has had a partnership with NASA for decades....i will always tell anyone with pca to always seek the treatment best for them..... > > i hope paul > > joined BOB and receives the monthly newsletter.....i was a regular poster [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Carol Hi Carol, Sounds like things are going well for Paul.

Glad to see you post here. I only read now and again since the treatment. We are still happy with our choice of Brachytherapy. Norma |
