Received my Brachytherapy which was administered by Dr. Brian Moran at the Chicago Prostate Cancer Center, Westmont, Illinois on May 26, 2010. Just got my PSA results after the 4 1/2 year period and I am still VERY happy with my choice of Brachytherapy with it's 80 of the I-125 seeds. PSA is now 0.152

Oops, I hope my posting the name of the facility that I used for my Brachytherapy is not considered spam as I certainly did NOT intend to violate any posting rules. If that post is considered improper, then by all means, a Moderator is certainly right in deleting it.

Just wanted to say that I don't visit this site very often anymore (and I am kinda ashamed about that) as this PC thing is getting further and further away in my mind. Perhaps it is the "out of sight - out of mind" thing. At any rate it is NEVER totally out of my mind in fact, I had cancer (clear cell sarcoma) thirty three years ago and that has never been forgotten. We can beat the heck out of PC and I guess we can forgive it but it is NEVER completely forgotten.
