K2, We usually see <0.01 reported when the sensitive test is below the detection limit. Best wishes,...
Always a good idea to check with your surgeon, urologist or GP about any meds before surgery. I expect your support group reviewed the studies at NYU and Baylor where use of Viagra (and MUSE in the...
Mel, you heard the same thing I heard. The doctor said he was relying on treatment guidelines from the NCCN and that one should consider SRT after prostatectomy when the PSA rises to 2. I went to the...
Great Mel! You deserve a break! Start practicing your Kegels again...but if it comes to it, I bet there's a shower somewhere nearby the radiation units in the hospital. Hehehehe! Roadracer...
Al Test data like yours shakes my attempts at dealing with this disease in a calm, rational manner. You'll see by my PSA history that I had one reading near 0.1 after a long string of <0.01 test...

Soccerdad, I'm three years post Davinci and my wife and I tried three approaches - daily 100mg Viagra (nothing but headaches), vacuum pump (worked but it was so off-putting that we abandoned it) and...
James - congratulations and best wishes for a permanent plateau at 0.09! I'm just back from picking up my three-year post-op result today and it was still <0.01. Not too shabby for a guy with...
Dave, Best of luck! Tell your surgeon to be sure he brings his "A" game! My Davinci was three years ago and I recall I badly wanted to see the robot up close (engineer's curiosity). But they put me...
Damn it Mel! If its not one thing it seems to be another. My son was down for over a week with a respiratory infection, a brother was sick for almost two weeks and a sister came down just before...
