Thanks, Zufus. Thanks for the information about The PSA restart levels... 20 in Canada?? WOW. A friend of my wife told her that I was just conducting a big science experiment , with me as the lab rat...
Got my latest (every 3 months) PSA test Monday and It's back up to .908, from .016 in May. The Doc wanted to give me another dose of Zoladex but I told him that i wanted to wait till my next test...
Don, so you're in the Boise area? I live south of Burley and am currently being treated by a rad-onc at St. Lukes MSTI in Twin Falls. I'm also looking for a medical oncologist and am finding the...
I am experiencing the same symptoms. I had my last 3 month dose of Zoladex in February, and since my PSA was quite low when I was retested in May, I won't have another till The PSA rises again. I...
Good For You! My father had the same experience. He had his surgery 16 years ago at age 70 (A young, very active 70). He never had a problem, never had to wear a pad, and most important the cancer...

David, Glad you had a great getaway. In December 2005 my wife and I (we will be celebrating our 36th in September), picked up her new car in Greer SC and spent the first night driving back home at...
JoeyG, You've looking at it right, It's not the number (PSA) it's the number AND how fast you're getting there....

I did 45 days of Radiation at St. Lukes MSTI in Twin Falls. It was somewhat tiring, but part of that was the 2+ hour drive every day. Towards the end I was getting some skin burning, like a mild...
Roxy, I'm 55 now and was 50 when diagnosed. After radiation my numbers were low so the Rad-Onc I'm seeing told me that there wasn't any urgency to start HT. But when The PSA jumped from 1.5 to 3.8 it...
The progression of my disease is somewhat similar to your fathers. The operation didn't scare me. Radiation was no problem. But for some reason I didn't want to deal with hormone therapy at all. I...
I hate to say it but you were lucky for an E.R. staffer to get the catheter in on the 4th attempt. I gave up on them after the 4th attempt and left the E.R. (against Medical advice). The next day the...

Zufus, I am getting a PSA every 3 months. I do need to find a Med-Onc PC specialist as the Radiation-Oncologist I've been seeing might not be as up to speed on the "Hormone" therapys. Purgatory, I've...
Sorry to hear your results, Sonny. I'm glad to hear you have an escape from this cancer Bull----. Like you, this disease also made me realize that that there more to do than just work and that I...

Thanks Everyone for the warm welcome. The posts here have opened my eyed to the need for more aggressive therapy. I have read Dr.Strum's "Primer" and wish I had it a few years ago. Although I would...
After lurking for the past 2 months I thought I should introduce myself. I live in Southern Idaho with my wonderful wife of 35 years. As noted in my signature I was diagnosed with PC 4 1/2 years ago...
