Was not sure about expectations for anything less than 3 months but am following DOs orders. PSA was 1.19, down from from pre BT of 4.34. With my miserable PSAd, small Gland, G7, and lousy kinetics I will be cautiously happy for now!

Thanks to all who gave wisdom and support. I wish all of you complete recovery and the best of health.

Sounds like you are on the right track. As you probably know it will take some time for the PSA to reach its nadir, and there can be a hiccup on the way there as a PSA spike.

Trout, you should be VERY happy. PSA should be reduced by half within 6 months...to be at your levels now is great. Best wishes on your continued cancer free life.

Great news! That's a great drop in PSA and a good sign.

Looks like you are on the right track. It normally takes more than a year to reach your PSA nadir when using radiation as a primary strategy. I would be celebrating at this point with your numbers.

Down is good. Down that much that soon is even better. I wish you continued success.
