Dear pasayten, I am a pretty similar case, my psa bounced to 0.14 about a decade after surgery, and has varied around the 0.1 level for three years now. I am getting similar comments from my doc....
Dear Bucky I was operated 12 years ago, and had my first `bounce` to 0.14 about three years afterwards, then back to undetectable, some more bouncy stuff during the years (see my signature) and...
Pratoman, I tend to agree. During my first recurrence, I ate a lot of fruit and nuts & Pomegranate, but this time it has been mostly hamburgers. I do a lot of sports and I remember reading somewhere...
No, cannot say I do. I have eaten pretty much the same....
Pratoman:: draught=cold air breeze (is it spelled draft?) DJBearGuy: that sure is a nonstandard set of numbers. Did your doctor speculate on what is going on?...
Pratoman, I connect the start of the psa rise with draught last winter, possibly inflaming my prostate area. However, I realize that this is very subjective, I simply do not know. Howard:My case is...
Thanks for the reply, Pratoman. That is my surgeon’s theory. And it is difficult to come up with an alternative....
Great result, congrats! Happy to hear that these new meds are really working!...
I haven’t posted a while but want to share the latest in my eventful post surgery ride, which is starting its 12th year. As background, I’ve had a couple of scares throughout the years, with psa...
Fantastic, we started around the same time and at same age, and here we still are rolling along. Cool :cool:...
Dear Howard I had a similar Psa rise episode, at one point it was 0.14, and then started downwards, has been stable below 0.07 for some years now. My oncologist thinks I have some leftover tissue in...
Happy to join in the congratulations. I started my journey pretty much the safe time as you and here we both are, happily in the zero club :cool:...
I feel really lucky today and at the same time a bit empty in the gut. I just got my undetectable in the mail more than eight years after surgery. I was diagnosed with melanoma last year but since...
Hello all! I had great news, my PSA was undetectable after more than seven years from surgery. During the past years, it has been floating around the 0.05 mark, sometimes detectable and sometimes...
Had a good monday, with undetectable PSA! Still as nervous as ever before the PSA test. Unlimited beers for everyone (if you can find me). :tongue:...
Pontiac, we have pretty similar histories, with surgery about 6 year back, and then some signs of recurrence. It is a real disappointment to see the PSA numbers reappear. I hope that your case is...
Great news, I am happy for you!...
Like 142, I was a bit puzzled by the bouncing between 0.2 and 0.1 which are really far apart by current standards of measurement accuracy. If the lab is not able to offer better accuracy, then I...
Looks stable to me! Great numbers, hope things stay this way....
Hope you get a good result!...
Yesss :smilewinkgrin:...
Thanks David, I wish you'd get some good news too!...
HD_Rider My doc thinks that there is some prostate cells left in the prostate bed. They are relatively benign since there is no upward trend indicating growth. If they get inflamed (I had prostate...
Some of you may remember that I had a 'recurrence' of sorts after about 3 years post op with PSA 0.14. Then it curiously sunk to 0.07, and stayed there for a year or so. Happy to report that the...
So sorry to hear of your continued troubles! Really hoping for some good news for a change....
I am a relatively similar case, diagnosed at 42. The first three or so years my PSA was belo 0.2, the lab could not measure with greater accuracy than that. Then I changed the lab, and got a 0.14,...
Sorry to hear about this, it is a real shock. Your numbers are still pretty low. I had 0.14, and then it dropped to 0.07. There may be a small chance that you have benign residual tissue in the...
Great news! We have pretty similar stats so far, hope the good news keeps coming......
Trying times for you. I am no doctor, so no diagnosis from me. However, the really good news seems to be undetectable psa!...
Great news, celebration in order!...
Maybe we should start a new club, the stable club, or something. :scool:...
Very nice piece! Clear and calm, somehow even comforting interview....
I am happy for you. I celebrated my zero yesterday by beer, karaoke and a 'calvados tasting test'....
Could someone post it on youtube so that us aliens could also watch it?...
Congratulations for the zero boy...
Welcome to the group, and sorry for the diagnosis. The positive side is that you have many good treatment options (!), and there is no big hurry to make a decision. With your numbers, there is...
Hi there! I am no doctor, so I am not qualified to give medical advice. However, what you are describing does not sound to me like prostate cancer at all. Prostate cancer at your age is extremely...
Pretty unnerving to take the test, especially since I had 0.14 a year and a half ago! The prospects seemed bleak at that time but my PSA seems to have stabilized to 'single digits' after that. I am...
mine took 6 months...
I like to read these sports related updates, being a runner myself. Enjoy the ride!...
Great header for the post although I am not sure that it is deserved....
We're about the same age. I do not know your stats, but basically you probably have a significant chance of complete cure. That does not mean that you'll live 30 years though,who knows the sky may...
I am not a strict veggie, but I also reduced meat consumption significanly and my PSA dropped. Other things I did were pomegranate juice and green tea pills.....
David, you have been really unlucky twice, first with having the cancer run out of the barn, and secondly with the radiation. And you have done everything by the book! But to me it is bad luck, not a...
Sorry to hear about your results. One thing to note in your case is that prostate cancer is almost always not a fast growing cancer. So you do not have to hurry or make panic decisions. I do not want...
Sounds unpleasant, good you still have your sense of humor! It is really difficult to feel on top with this disease, with people sticking their fingers in your ass, ED problems, incontinence etc....
Congrats! I'd be really interested in hearing about the supplements already at this stage!...
Hi there HD_Rider Sorry about your diagnosis, glad you found the forum. With your numbers, there is high probability of complete cure. Treatment choice is not fun but, on the other hand, it is much...
Hi Brian, glad you found the forum. I had pretty similar numbers, age and all. I went the RP route which turned out ok for me. It must be pretty stressing to learn about cancer and loose a job at the...
I also noticed a change in semen a couple of years before the diagnosis, and also a difficulty in reaching a climax. This is why I went to the doctor in the first place. Even though there is no...
