I figured I'd start this thread as I see David, I42, and I are all slated to play the PSA numbers game later this month. Perhaps we can post our results here.

ANYONE ELSE?

They are just numbers - don't let ruin your holidays

On the 22nd I will get PSA tested. Also will have a full workedup including D and Testosterone.

12/24 I am going for my first post op test. I'll get my results mailed directly from the lab. Based on the timing, may not see it until after the new year. Appt with Uro is scheduled for 1/5.

12/13 for me. A month early, because my primary care doc added PSA to my other stuff he does. Not scheduled to see the radiation oncologist till late January.

Had mine drawn on the 1st, waiting on results to be mailed from Emory. December 13th is my 5 year surgery anniversary date.

Just received another .1; If new patients think that psa anxiety goes away after they are treated they are sadly mistaken.

Got results of my first post surgery psa last Monday.... <0.04... Yeah! I've had a bounce in my step all week.

Had mine on 5 Dec. (3 years after SRT). It came back good.

I hope to hear from my uro today for the 3 month post-op psa. My first post-op psa was 4 weeks post and it was .039. Hopefully this one will be lower. Still weighing the adjuvant RT possibility. Congrats Mag, Tooyoung and JohnT. Good luck to everyone else!

I have to call my primary doc next week to have my 6-month test done by the end of December.

Talk about anxiety, this one scares and worries me.  My first post-op PSA was <.01 (undetectable) and the one I had at the end of October (4 months post-op) was exactly 0.01.  At that time, my uro was already talking about SRT, which scares me.

Prayers and best wishes for all you pre Christmas PSA report dudes. I know how it feels even when 3 years in the zero club so for those who are currently measurable PSA it surely puts a stone in your shoe. Enjoy life for what it allows you now and have a great Christmas with the people in your life that really matter. Extend your circle of goodwill to others less fortunate and appreciate however bad your situation there are others who share your pains and concerns. Merry Christmas.

Wow-- I am amazed at how many of us are getting our numbers this month!

Got mine a few days ago.  I'm now down to .5.  This represents a continual drop since my brachy three years ago and it's still heading south.  Don't know where the nadir will be but my docs are still "delighted"...as am I.

Blood drawn Dec. 8 and see my urologist on Dec 16 for my first post surgery PSA test.

I just got mine. < 0.1 again. I finished SRT 57 months ago tomorrow.

add me to December. Was due November but ended up doing it in December.

"Just received another .1; If new patients think that psa anxiety goes away after they are treated they are sadly mistaken."

First, congrats on the "another .1". I was pretty much cured of psa anxiety when I had seven consecutive increases - my reaction, "Oh, another increase, I pretty much expected that. Lucky it wasn't higher." Click on my profile image below.

Of course, now that I'm undetectable, the anxiety may return.

My 10 month post SRT PSA dropped a little to 0.09 and hopefully has stabilized in the .07 to .10 range.   I don't know if diet, exercise and supplements helped but I will keep it up for a while.  This is really good news.

I get my 6 month post op PSA test today and the apprehension didn't hit until this morning. I will get this done again in 3 more months.

Congratulations to each of you that got your results, and it sounds like those reporting so far, got good numbers. This will give hope to many others waiting for theirs. At least there are some happy endings going on here, it's can't be all bad.

A lot of people getting a lot of stuff done this month to get it at the end of this years insurance. My next PSA test isn't until Feb. The start of a new benefit year!

Sounds like December is a good month to be tested! Good numbers. I'm happy for all of you. What a ride.

I got a letter to have my first test (6 months from having the seeds implanted) scheduled in February. Maybe I should get it this month!

Just got my PSA call.

June 15 - .2

Sept. 8 - .4

Dec. 8 - .7

Not quite double, but then they truncate, not round, the result, so .7 can be .70 to .79.

Better than I expected, worse than I'd hoped.

And that's with the pom/cranberry juice every morning. I'm going back to something drinkable. (no thread hijacking guys)

argh.
