around noon and said it was still "undetectable."  He sounded really
happy about it.  Going to do another one in two months.

Is this normal?  Anyone else had this?

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00  bill.
In the room of 200, he asked, Who would like this $20 bill?

I am 71 year healthy watchful waiting man whose PSA has risen from 4 to near
8 over 3 years with a favorable DRE. Will the size of my tumor at some
point, short of going outside the capsule, disqualify me from treatment with
radiation seeds? Another question: why have so many of you ...

We all strive for <0.1 post-op PSA levels.  I was told the reason the

Doctor that was using his own cancer cells in a petri dish to test out

hi folks - ya ever had one of those meetings where the batteries in your
anal smoke detector went dead because it was screaming for so long and

I'm moving tomorrow morning morning and my Internet won't be set up at the
new place until at least Wednesday.  But, then I'm going out of town through
the weekend.  The long and the short of it if I post here in the next 10
