At 7 weeks post op (when testing done) as expected the good news was <0.01 (undetectable) PSA level -- woohoo on that.

Also the Mystery Of The Stone is continuing. It was a Calcium Oxalate stone which is usually created in the kidneys and especially at the size of it (1 cm x .5 cm) would have been 'Noticed' as it passed.

My PA speculated that maybe it was passed to bladder during post-surgery while still on Oxycontin or morphine, but possibly could have just formed in bladder.

She recommended X-ray of Kidneys next time I go for PSA test to see if anything can be seen.

And now have in-hand some Cialis samples and prescription for 30 x 5mg Free Cialis --nice!

Great news Jim. Welcome to the zero club. Just got my 5th zero today - still doing them every 90 days for another year but it is always good to get a zero. Also glad to hear your stone is gone. I have had 4 of them - not any fun there either. David

Hey CPA,

FOUR stones! Ouch Ouch Ouch and Ouch. I still cannot figure why I had no pain from this one. It only takes tiny gravel size to hurt like hell, right?

I guess I will have a new found appreciation for April 1st for now on as First Zero Day -- kind of like a new birthday, yah?

Oh on the Cialis front -- some signs of life (using a 20 mg), but a long ways to go yet for anything useful -- got my free 30 days 5 mg cialis today so I am set for the daily maintenance part.

Will just keep on keepin' on!
