Quasi-Zero Club?

Having read David's latest PSA-related post, which I can totally relate to, maybe we need a subset of the Zero Club.

We can call it the Quasi-Zero Club.

In short, we are technically still members in good standing, but we do have a concern: rising PSA numbers!!

Maybe we can even have a Staging: QZC-1 for me (quasi-zero with only 1 increase??).

Mel, even I will pass on the sub-set idea. Minor fluctuations with .xx or .xxx is expected. In my case, the trend from the day I started getting even pre-treatment PSA testing with the .x tests, is up up and more up. It happened before surgery, it happened after surgery, and it may be happening after radiation. Seems to be my destiny with PC. Won't know anything more, until I get my November reading. Some guys might go monthly testing at this point, to be honest, I don't want to see that soon or that close. I have this other major surgical decision hanging over my head, got to keep the apples from the oranges out of my mind. Your number(s) are excellent, and unless something turns ugly with your case, looks like you might be in for a long string of zeros. For your sake and for your family sake, I hope and pray it does.

Mel, the fear part is very real, whether guys admit it or not, or mask it away under some happier emotion, so I understand that part.
