To all,
I've been pretty quiet lately, having nothing worth stating again. I do read
the posts on this group daily and thank those who contribute; from I.P. to
Leonard to Steve J. and all in between.  Without folks like the varied

There are a lot of people posting here regarding PSA levels with
resolutions equal to or less than 0.01.
My urologist and oncologist both agree that, quantitatively speaking,
absolute readings below 0.1 are relatively meaningless, They are "in

Abstract:

There has been a lot of discussion about the significance of the rising PSA
numbers in the cases of guys who have had RRP or SI/EBRT.   Some people seem
to panic when the PSA number rises from 0.1 to 0.2, or even less.
However, does anyone have an idea of the PSA number of guys ...

Last Wednesday was the first anniversary of my being seeded:
Greg Louis
At age 58, PSA 5.4 rising triggered biopsy 2004-06-22, Gleason 3+3, T1c,
prostate volume 27 cc.  Monotherapy, 55 I-125 seeds implanted 2004-11-16.

I am testing my new computer's setup.

"How long have you been bedridden?"
After a look of complete confusion she answered, "Why, not for about
twenty years-when my husband was alive."

I'd be interested to hear the experiences of others who have combined
"active surveillance" (my doc's term for "watchful waiting") with lots of
supplements, changes in diet, etc.
My history:

Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients to operate
on.
The first surgeon says "I like to see accountants on my operating
table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered."

Back after a few months of just lurking. Last psa was 0.2 after being .09 in
july. Uro sent me to a radiologist. Says I need 37 treatments. We were
hoping it was all gone, but I guess there was some at the margins. Hope this
will do it.

I was just thinking today regarding men who have been diagnosed with
aggressive PCa cancer. Has the notion been discussed regarding
radiation directly after an RRP in these particular cases, instead of
waiting to see if the PSA begins to climb? Has there been any studies

   Maybe we should invite the list serve group here.
Just my 2 penny's.
Off for a run in the cool a.m.
Yeah, I think this group is fine, and I would rather have a choice to accept
