A tad late, but might as well start this thread.

Please post your June tests. Mention upcoming ones and/or tell us the results.

I see the vampire Friday.

I am finding the HT seems to be taking more of a toll.

I HATE this crap.

Going in tomorrow. I get mine tested every 3 months due to positive margins. I have been sitting on 0.1 for over a year.
Will I go up, down or remain the same?

PSA Anxiety has begun!

First PSA test after Prostatectomy this Friday. See the Uro for results next Wednesday. Although everything looks good so far, I must admit to some nerves!
Cheers

Good luck to you guys with tests coming up, and congrats Doug and Walt.

Grege, nerves are normal, obviously. Especially the first one. "CANCER FULLY CONTAINED" You will be fine. :-)

That's what I keep telling myself.
As Pratoman said, good luck to everyone with tests coming up!
Cheers

<0.05 for me again. Love the straight line graph I'm developing.
Good luck to you guys for great results as well.

Gary was still over 900 last week but that was finally down from triple digits over 1000! He was doubling the entire time doing the DRibbles trial, until we finally had to quit and go back to chemo. Hoping it will continue to feel and at a rate faster than it rose! Next test July 2nd!

1 year plus after ending HT and PSA is 0.16! I haven't got my testosterone result back yet, but based on my libido, I expect it to continue to be below normal.

My PSA was up yet again (rising since December 14), and liver indicators really bad (suddenly) after two months of zytiga. I'll be back for more tests next week.

Another 0.1! My PCP checked with Quest in Miami and they said that is as low as some of their machines register but some come back at <0.1.
My first year I was undetectable so this 0.1 makes me nervous.

Father's PSA is now at 0.44, down from 0.75 last month. Still on ADT, now with Xtandi instead of Casodex. PSA still creeping down, hoping it'll reach 0.01 in the next few months.

PSA is 24 as of 06/02/2015. Last reading was March 9, 2015 and came in at 3.9. Recent CT scan shows uptake in pelvic lymph nodes from December's scan. Considering Chemotherapy at this point.

In addition to a semi-annual PSA test (the last three scored 1.2, 0.9, 1.2)  I also have a 3T mp-MRI done annually in June  as  part of the  protocol for my AS program. For the fourth year in a row, the results were negative, and a follow-up MRI/TRUS targeted biopsy will not be done.

No matter how successful the previous tests have been, each additional test leads to test anxiety. The last PSA test I took in March, 2015 (score 1.2) followed a PSA test I took 10 days before which scored 1.670. This was processed by a different lab than the one that processed most of my previous exams. I immediately requested another test using my customary lab, which resulted in a score more in line with the scores of the previous 3 years.

PSA fell 0.7 to 16.1 after 10 days of Cipro. Obviously not a significant enough drop to get me back into AS-land. I'm waiting for Dr Eggener at Univ of Chicago to review my MRI for possible FLA. Dr Walser agreed to do FLA but he's back logged into late September.

Hang in there 142!

PSA still coming in at > .01. Celebrating tonight with my "Father's Day" lobster and a nice glass of brandy.
