Gave blood yesterday. Get results tomorrow. Given my recent situation (the surprising drop in PSA after avodart only use), I'm quite nervous to see if we get any follow-up.

I HATE this feeling.

yup - I hate waiting.

Hoping for the best results.

I hope you get great news tomorrow. Please let us know.

Here's hoping for a good number. Something we all want to hear every time we go through it. Good luck.

Mel,

Hoping and then waiting for lower numbers can cause a lot of angst, good luck.

Well, not what I wanted but could be worse.

It went from 2.28 to 2.44.

Still a reprieve for another month!

I will be making an appointment to see Dr. Lam, probably in late June.

Mel,

I'd say that is great news...have a great weekend...

.16 increase. up, but at least not alarminly up at one time. definitely plenty of time to discuss things with your doctor(s).
good luck

Mel, I would rate those results right up there with having 5 out of 6 numbers in a lottery drawing. 5 will get you a good prize just not quite the jackpot.

So have a great weekend, put this PCa carp on the back burner and enjoy to the max the next month.

Sonny:

Nice to hear from you.

You can bet PC is now on the far rear back burner... for about 30 days!

Mel,

I think that is fantastic news. Obviously we all would have loved to see it go down, but .16 is second best.

On the other hand, it is just a confusing time to know what is going on and what to do. Hope you really can sort of push it to the back burner for the next 28 days. Maybe a trip to Vegas is in order.

Actually, I am looking at an appointment with Dr. Lam or Scholz the last week in June. We plan to make a 10day vacation and visit our daughter in Santa Monica. We may fly into Vegas, depending on fares and a few other items (poker tourneys)

Sounds like a great plan.

Mel,

I can recommend a great place to stay when you go see Dr. Lam or Dr. Scholz! :)

Enjoy the month, then look forward to special time with your your daughter in Santa Monica! :)
