Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / May 2009Latest blood test results / Steve Kramer
Hi Steve! Latest results for your charts: PSA 11/17/2008 = <0.05 This is some 9 1/2 years after RP (PSA: 18.5) and 3 1/2 years after salvage RT (PSA: 0,21). So far so good. Salvage RT seems to be working... Best wishes. Just > Hi Steve! > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > So far so good. Salvage RT seems to be working... That's great, Just!! BigJim: This is a better example of SRT. Just started out with an 18.5 PSA and GS 3+4=7 and had a radical prostatectomy on or about March 1, 1999. By mid-March 2005, his formerly undetectable PSA was back up to 0.21, so he underwent salvage radiation treatment (SRT). Today, 3½ years later, we're allowing for the possibility that he is cured.

If Kombat Kramer is reading this, maybe he'll have the good manners to confirm this, and also confirm as to whether or not he'll ever be returning to rec.knives. My guess is that he WON'T, because he knows that if he does the 'trolls' will be back to 'play' with him, and it'll end as it did the last time with a victory for the 'trolls' and a humiliating defeat for Kombat. :-) On Dec 7, 3:52 pm, "Takin & Kanoknuan" <takin&kanokn...@stuck-in-a- wheelchair.org> wrote: > "LarbGai" <larb...@lycos.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > last time with a victory for the 'trolls' and a humiliating defeat for > Kombat. :-) You and Labgal are here now and not contributing (other than being trolls) so what does it matter if Steve comes back or not? (snip idiotic blather) > You and Labgal are here now and not contributing (other than being > trolls) so what does it matter if Steve comes back or not? Noting the cross-posts I say this: Go away.

I cannot imagine the emotional distress you are going through, and you have my best wishes and thoughts through this trying time. The average rec.knives user is a skilled craftsman, and/or an avid polite collector, but all are gentlemen. Accept my apology on behalf of rec.knives. I also apologise for the cross post.

Six months later (and 4 years after salvage RT) I am glad to report another undetectable result that just came out = <0.05. I always like to commemorate... I think I will go to a restaurant by the sea for dinner and have some grilled fish and a nice wine!

Ron and I would love to join you for some grilled sea bass and a few glasses of a white wine we enjoyed in Porto......Plan Alto. Sigh....but we can get the wine here due to a large local Portuguese population. Best.....the 2 of us. >> Six months later (and 4 years after salvage RT) I am glad to report >> another undetectable result that just came out = <0.05. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >Best.....the 2 of us. Hi Heather! You certainly have good taste for wines... Planalto is also one of my favorites. Next time you want to try a Portuguese wine I suggest you also check Esporao (red). Goes down well with bacalhau (dried cod fish). My best regards to Ron. Cheers. J >>> Hi Steve! >>> [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Just Congratulations Just. Stories like this, though not constituting a statistically significant sample, nevertheless demonstrate that, at least sometimes, salvage radiotherapy does work. The statistics I've seen indicate that it only works for about half of all men who try it - and it only does that well among men who get it while their PSA is still pretty low. But the key thing is that really it can work. Men who have failed RP do have a second chance. Alan : Six months later (and 4 years after salvage RT) I am glad to report : another undetectable result that just came out = <0.05. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] : : Just That's fantastic, Just! It's nice to see SRT work for someone.
