Thanks Bob. Will try somewhere else. From my research I have done it seems there are different opinions. One opinion indicates that a "bounce" may happen within the first 12 to 36 months after...

Visited the dr again today for the prescribed check up. PSA increased to 3.55. He is not happy at all and so am I. It could be infection according to him....but the urine tests shows no evidence....
Happened to me. First one missed - think was a 8 core biopsy. Three months latter another biopsy - found it. Same explanation received from Urologist as what was told to Purgatory......actually scary...
Great news !! Congrats !...
Thanks guys and ladies. I am just dissapointed....
Hi, Dr gave me a prescription for Flomax. His concern is that the area's might have grown more than expected - that is before the theraphy. I must say that the PSA count was at 4 something to 6.14 in...
Sorry to bother again. 2 months ago I was in Heaven with my PSA results and minor effects after the therapy. Last three weeks I experienced a difficulty in urinating etc. Saw the dr this morning for...

Thanks all for the well wishes and advice. Much appreciated....
Hi all, Got my PSA results today - first test done since the brachy therapy. Score is 2.9, which is quite lower than before the therapy. What should the PSA result be after brachy ? Must it be zero...
Thanks all for the feedback. I am taking a "A to Z" vitamin as I believe that in most of our food a lot of vitamins are lacking/inferior due to the excessive demand(growing population) that causes...
I have recently been informed by a fellow prostate cancer member that his oncologist instructed him to stay away from any vitamin supplement as it can "feed" the cancer. Have anyone info on this ?...
