I haven't told anyone except two people, for specific reasons, and
have told them not to tell anyone else, since I was dx'd.
My RP is scheduled for the end of January (it drives me crazy thinking
about the approaching date).  Anyway, I'm really tempted NOT to tell a

I am beginning to understand the Partin Tables but have some questions:

We got good news today (three months after salvage radiation ended).  At
the end of radiation, Allen's PSA was 0.09.  A month ago he got another
