Well latest PSA was 1.9 last one in Sept was 1.6 was hoping it would stay there a while but who am I kidding.  My doubling time is still good because my PSA was up to 3.5 and went down to 1.5 something that usually does not happen without HT.  My oncologist said not to worry we will just continue to watch and see what happpens.

Could have been better but also could be worse I will take what I can get.

Hi Jerry we are about the same age, my PSA jumped around too the last few times, when it went from 0.7 to 1.31 it gave me quite a start, but then it went down again, having blood drawn on Friday, so will see what happens, to the PSA rollacoaster, like you my Oncologist says not to worry.

wishing you all the best.

Well Jerry, I was hoping your next post would be a good one. But it is not all bad and you and I and a number of others are in the same boat. Keep us posted and if you get a chance can you post your FB site so that I can keep up with you. Take care my friend.

Sorry to hear that, Jerry my friend. Sounds like you and your doc just need to keep a good eye on things.

Good luck

Would love to have seen your psa zag down again but next time. Hope the ample Florida sunshine is giving plenty of opportunity to play tennis this winter!

Our best to you,
Jake

Jerry, Sorry to see that your PSA is inching upward. May be it will reverse itself again. Best of wishes.

Thanks all for your good wishes I just hope the PSA stays put but who knows still hoping for the best.  Jake Fl sunshine sure helps, been playing tennis 5 days a week and in two senior leagues, it's helping to keep me young.
