When newcomers show up, we often tell them to take their time and make
an informed decision.  Below, I've posted two studies that attempt to

Curt's PSA is back down a hair. to 17.25. That may just be the lowest it
goes. he is going to slow down a bit at work and get rid of some headaches
and we'll just hope that it stays around 17 for 5++++++ years.
BTW his testosterone was 14 so he is blocked enough with his quarterly

Thank you again one and all.  This a Great NG.
A somewhat trivial and vain question.  I'm trying to get back in shape and

Since my prostatectomy in Dec 2002, all my PSA readings have been >0.01.  My
latest reading was 0.01 without the > sign.  I rang the lab and they said it

experiences and reactions are different, so please do not use my
report to cross Caverjet off the list of things to try for dealing
with post RRP erectile disfunction.  I would say try it, based on your
