I haven't been on much - just getting on with life trying not to think too much about Pca.

However, pleased to report a good result. My PSA before SRT was 0.67 - and my first, 6 weeks after treatment finished was 0.34!! Almost halved.

Hi Chris. Sounds like the target received a fatal hit. I had 66 Grays of SRT and was told by my Onc that a PSA reduction of 50% at the first post SRT test is a very promising result.
Wishing you all the best and lots of zeros down the road.

Thanks again guys and gals.

I like these good news threads.

My next test is at the end of July - to see it down again will be wonderful.

Best wishes to everybody else waiting for a positive result.
