Well hallo again ladies and gents.

I've had a break from the forum for several weeks, and was busy with loads of "normal" stuff.

But today I have just got back from seeing the Surgeon at the NKI-AVL hospital in Amsterdam and wow!!!!!!! my PSA is down to "<0.1", which is the lowest that this hospital will give you.

So the radiation therapy seems to have worked. (But it sure has messed up my BMs)

I have to go back for my next PSA test in January.

So all I need to do this evening is something enjoyable.

Cheerio

Great news! I'd even allow myself a good beer after that.

But it would have to be before 8 pm.

My next check is mid-October, just about the 1 year anniversary of the meeting with DaVinci.

Alf- decent news, hope you slayed the dragon. Glad you didn't go into detail on the BM factor...that could be TMI territory. (too much information) Those issues should subside but could take some time in so doing. My attempted humor needs flushing.

Am I right that the rules on signatures are different. Mine wasn't attached to my post.
In case no data about me shows with this, then Lynn my PSA after surgery was 0.1 and in March 2010 before RT it was 0.4
(One thing that happened while was away fom the forum was that I lost all the data I had about PCa from my laptop and most strangely I lost all the data in my back up too. The contents of my "Prostate Cancer" folder was the only stuff that disappeared either on the harddrive or the stick! Luckily I jhad some stuff on my backed up back up on my son's PC)

Not been on holiday really, but just trying to enjoy life and not get PSA anxiety and I did drive about a bit in the rain looking at some Dutch countryside.

Amazingly not had a drink today after all.

Oh my signature seems to have added okay this time, but I went to try and update it and it said it had to be limited to 400 characters. Is that the new rule?

Great news Alf. I am very happy for you. Also, glad to have you back at HW. I am finishing my SRT next week. Unfortunately, I will have to wait until next summer due the the 12 months of HT that I am on.
