Thanks guys. My PSMA Pet is scheduled for 2/24. More waiting!...
First of all I really liked this RO. Don't have Medicare not old enough! I have health care coverage not insurance we have to pay up front and then get reimbursed. So that puts me in the category of...
Well I am off to see the Radiation Oncologist tomorrow to see what he has to say. Never got approved for the PSMA test. Feel like I did when I was first diagnosed in 2010. I will update tomorrow....
Congratulations!...
Good to hear from you guys to. Nothing has been done since surgery, the upcoming visit will be with a Medical Oncologist. The Urologist office wants to do a Pet Scan but I am having a hard time...
Well seems that all of us surgery guys don't just fade away. Have posted in a long time. Looks like my psa is on the rise and has been slowly increasing. Probably should have done something sooner...
Thanks for the advice. When our psa rises we get a little jittery. I see the URO on Thursday I will see what he has to say. Regardless of what he recommends I will make an appointment with an...
Thanks for the replies. I am 57. Overall health is good, high cholesterol, a couple of stints in my legs. Do not exercise regularly but job is physically demanding....
Old time poster here. Had robot surgery on 2-5-10, psa was undectable until 1-15-14 increased to 0.02. The following increases occurred, 1-29-15 0.04, 8-29-16 0.05, 8-15-17 <0.01 (not sure about that...
Thanks for all the input. Around 2014 they started using different labs, they started using Solstas labs and then at some point switch back to LabCorp. The last 2 years of test were done at a...
Good deal. Congratulations....
The doctor didn't seemed worried about the 0.1. Just when you think you got it made your stupid cancer says no!...
I haven't seen him yet, I go on Monday. This being an ultra sensitive test with this number what do you think that a regular test would of been?...
Yes this is only test that I have had since last year. Last year they didn't do the ultra sensitive test....
Got the results from LabCorp today for my 9 1/2 year check and they came in at 0.210. Not sure I like that number....
Hello to the old timers and to all the new people. It's sad to see all these new names here but this is a great place. I got my 8 1/2 result and still undetectable. Hang in there! Neal...
Way to go. Congratulations!...
Good deal!...
I sent you an email. I would stay with LabCorp....
Now they are done at Labcorp. I think my Uro switched at some point. I was concerned about that rise but he didn't seem to worried about it. He would not consider anything until it reached .20...
Thanks everyone. I didn't do any special diet or exercise. I updated my email Pratoman...
Got my PSA results yesterday and it came in as <0.01. That makes it 7 1/2 yrs. It was nice to hear him say when you get 10 yrs. out I don't want to see you anymore....
Mine came back in at 0.05. I will take that. Sorry to hear about that Mel....
Thanks guys. Pratoman we didn't talk about the <. He feels that BCR is not likely, but none of know us for sure what will happen. We are just going to monitor it and see where it goes....
Got my 6 1/2 year results today, it came in at 0.05. I will take it. I guess this is where it has leveled out at, first 3 yrs. it was <0.01. Sure do miss that <0.01 though. Take Care, Neal...

My last test in January was 0.06 up from the previous year from 0.02. So I am glad to have this test coming in at 0.04, at 5 1/2 years out I will take it. Neal...
I will have my 5 1/2 yr. test on the 23rd. Every test until the 4th. yr. mark was <0.01 4 yr. mark was 0.02, 5th. yr. 0.06. I don't like the way it is going. Neal...
Hello everyone. Don't post much anymore but I am always checking in on the board. Just got my 5 year PSA that came in at 0.06 still in the club which is good. My first 3 years were <0.01 last year...

Close enough for 2 years and still in the zero club. Not bragging just trying to be a encouragement to others. On a more serious note, we found out a couple of weeks ago my Aunt has advanced...
I had them put in my iliac arteries 4 years ago, where fine for about a year and then they had to go back in and inflate them again. Been fine since then. Left side was 70% clogged and the right was...

Hello and welcome. Sorry that you need to be here. It is not a death sentence. We all know how it feels to find out that we have cancer and there are alot of emotions. You and your Dad should not...
