it's 39.8. I understand that this high. Does anyone know how high? I'm
scheduled for a biopsy on the 16th. Is this psa cause for alarm?

I am very surprised no one seems concerned about having salvage RT without

Curious as most you know my recent post RP PSA (7 weeks) was 0.5. My

Don't much feel like talking about anything else at the moment.

I am going to have my RP in early March.  (T1C, 3+4, PSA 5.6)  Just want
to say thanks for all the good info on this list.  Hearing the
information from guys who have been there is good!
Cheers to all,

Bonjour..
