Many thanks to all that responded to my post; it's good to know I'm not alone at least once a year. All the best to you and yours....
My psa has gone to 0 five years after I exited treatment on December 24, 2015. Even though I was tested a year ago, and my psa was 0.036, I had enormous anxiety before this latest blood draw. Do all...
I am four years out from HDR brachytherapy with 16 sessions of EBRT and my PSA is 0.036. I have minimal side effects from the radiation. I did have a three-month depot of lupron six months before...
Once again, the trend is my friend, as my PSA decreased from 0.253 to 0.097. I continue to have good quality of life with, diet, exercise, Host Defense supplements and 5 mg. of Cialis as the key...
My PSA continues to decline 3 years post treatment. Six months ago it was 0.7 and now it is 0.253. Diet, exercise and supplements help, but the next blood test always hangs there like a dark cloud. I...
It's been 6 months since I last posted. I was on 3 month intervals between PSA tests for the first 2 years post treatment. I just received the results of my first 6 month interval PSA test and it...
Congratulations and all the best to you my friend!...
I am 3 years after diagnosis and 2 years past treatment for intermediate grade (bilateral) Pca w/ adverse risk factors. I completed a combo therapy of HDR and EBRT on December 24, 2015. My psa...
To clarify my own situation, the ADT/RT protocol was totally separate from the HDR/IMRT protocol. The IMRT component of my treatment followed the single session of HDR and was completed (12/24/2015)...
Tall Allen: My last 3-month blood test was good news; my PSA decreased from 1.5 to 1.0. I guess the vegan diet (plus tumeric and chaga) really does work after all. I'm feeling better now. :turn:...
Tall Allen I have no history of prostatitis - but I did have a bad infection after my 12-core biopsy. My PSA went up over 20, and after a 2-week course of antibiotics, it went down to 11.1. I had one...
Tall Allen: Thank you for the advice; I will keep it in mind as I go forward. As I understand it, biochemical failure is nadir plus 2.0 (meaning a PSA of 2.5 for me), and biochemical failure does not...
Hi all, it's been almost a year - I have yet to do any HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) treatments. My PSA has been rising at the rate of .1 per month from a nadir of 0.5. I now stand at 1.5 with an...
I am looking into Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy - not because of any current side effects - but to head off any future ones. I will be talking about it with my oncologist today and will let you know what...
Thank you all for the positive feedback. Bests wishes and best of luck to you all!...
Hi all, it's been a while since I posted on this forum. I was diagnosed w/ a GS 7 (4+3) w/ bilateral involvement and a PSA of 11.1 in February 2015. I had a single 3-mos shot of lupron on May 12,...
FoxRun, A numb penis leaves you feeling as though there is nothing in your underwear; it is a very unsettling . I have some tactile sensation when urinating (I can control stream and essentially feel...
I elected to have HDR BT and EBRT to treat my GS 7 (4+3) PCa. Prior to treatment I had a 3 month depot of lupron to halt the rise of my PSA (11.1). The HDR phase was completed on 11/6/15 in Santa...
Thank you both for the affirmation of ADT-HDR-EBRT as a proven therapy....
I am new to the forum; I was diagnosed on 2/27/15 w/ one core of 12 showing a Gleason 4+3 and a PSA of 10.1. My CT and MRI showed no extension of the disease outside the capsule and no evidence it...
