Just to let the group know that I got today the blood test results:
PSA dropped from 0,846 in october to 0,090 jan 2008.This is the result,
which I presume good, of 3 full months of daily casodex pill of 150mg.

As least the Casodex is working.

How are the side effects this time?

Hi Steve,
I do not notice too many side effetcs: the only one which I can refer is an
hypertrophy of my breasts with a sort of soreness of the nipples especially
in the morning when I wake up. The rest seems OK...I was forgetting the ED
which I was recovering after lupron interruption and now is back again,
although the lidido is OK.

All things considered, that does not sound bad.  Certainly better than the
alternative.

I'm glad you're doing well.

Having nothing to do with you, I'm sure, I had a dream last night that I was
in Rome and that I met the Pope.  He spoke English with a distinct southern
United States dialect.  It's the first time I ever saw the Pope in reality
or in dreams.

Nah......that is St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.  But the Pope with a
southern US accent???  ROFL!!  Probably it was John Edwards standing
behind him.

No.  Traditionally, it is Saint Peter (who was a Pope) that ushers us
through the Pearly Gates.  Many popes have probably ushered people in to the
bowels of Hell.

Wouldn't have brought it up had another Rome resident register his most
recent PSA.

Ha!  No, definitely not heretic.  Actually, I'm a Pope proponent.  I'd put
meeting him above meeting Presidents Bush or Reagan.

And, never, do I have erotic dreams...  sigh...
colophony - 04 Feb 2008 09:24 GMT
No Steve, I did not want to say eretic I just wanted to write hieratic and
the double sense of my wording would have ment, to my personal joke, that
the side effects of casodex worked in a way taht you moved from the
profane(erotic dreams) to the sacred.(hieratic dreams)..LOL
