Jeff had his blood drawn yesterday for his 9 month follow-up consultation next week.
GP surgery just phoned him to tell him the wonderful news that his PSA is now down to 1.78
Pre-implant 11
3 months 3.83
6 months 3.18
9 months 1.78
Oh happy days.

Great to see the reduction as expected. remember that radiation brings the PSA down gradually and don't be surprised to see a bounce up in the 18-36 month time frame.

Keep the reduction going.

Have a pint on me! I know you had hoped for a bigger drop on the last test, so I'm glad to see the downward trend continue. It's always nice to see good news here. Enjoy.
