Thanks for the reminder Djin! I do recall that Biotin can have a small effect on the #'s too and it is in most foods....
Follow up appt was this week, overview 1) Doc also said it was a small rise this time and I seem to do small bounces 2) At first, he wanted to do 6 months for next test, I asked for 3 months and he...
Thanks for the feedback guys. Scheduled for follow up on Monday 2/26 to discuss the #'s and the kidney stones. Will report back then....
Had my semi-annual draw yesterday and still bouncing around. I'm due to see the Uro in a couple of weeks. 2 big changes for me which I'll ask about 1) started Wegovy last May and take 2.4mg per week...
8/23 uPSA result = 0.017 ng/ml...
Just past my 5 year surgery anniversary (4.5 years Adj Radiation) and still bouncing around a very small amount. Dr. says "stay the course" and retest in 6 months. Had the Pandemic in there too which...
Thanks Dijin for the follow up. I've been blessed thus far - I remember breaking out in a sweat when it bounced a bit, but the Doc is a level headed person and suggested we just retest and it was...
Thanks for the information Djin, very informative I'm sure many will appreciate a bit of a roadmap to consult!...
During the beginning of the pandemic, I was getting my uPSA checked every three months due to my genetic testing post op and post ART. LabCorp changed the assay to the slightly less sensitive one due...
Different experience for me - though I use the teaching hospital's family medicine group and see an Advanced Practice Nurse. The APN consults with the physicians if needed. I must admit that a young...
Great overview Lots of sugar in stuff too I do some ancestry work for our town's history - fascinating to see the WW2 registration cards and how low men's weights were in the early 1940's 6'0" - 165...
Congrats, I wonder if we're in the same LabCorp waiting room? I've moved to 6 month testing...
I moved to 1x/6mo with the uPSA and continue to be flat with the test run again yesterday 0.013; test progression in signature I did lose the < sign and when Covid finally lifted, revisited the...
Excellent! Just did a 6 month uPSA at 0.014 Wednesday. I bounced a little but the test change by Labcorp due to COVID testing increase back in 2020 always throws me off a bit....
Signature updated with this week's PSA... Slow rise; unfortunately with the change last year with LabCorp's reporting, wasn't really able to see if I was getting small increases all along. July 2021...
Dr Michael Hernando also at Morristown Medical Center - did my unbiblical hernia repair 6 years ago - no issues Dr Carter, mentioned by Paul, also very good reputation...
Dr office followed up and is just keeping me on 3 month testing schedule for now. We'll see towards the end of Oct with next test....
Had a draw yesterday and came back with 0.009 no symbol. But still less than the <0.014 from last draw. Will see if Dr has any concerns...
Congrats! Good to see you doing well - continued success...
got second Pfizer shot on April 3rd uPSA on April 27th <0.014 result, no change...
Great results! I'll be 3 years post op on 8/1 and 2.5 years post ART. Just called for my quarterly script for next month. I haven't decided on going a longer period of time yet! My background and...
I recall a conversation I was having with my eventual RO 2 years ago who said that a vaccine for PCa wouldn't surprise him....
Best of Luck with the treatments - my wife is an RN at Morristown Medical and Dr. Wong is very well respected. We went with Dr. Zablow who is with Garden State Urology / Morristown, though he is...
If you got the small card when you went for your vaccine; check to see if your hospital or Dr's group uses MyChart. Noticing that after signing in, go to Menu > My Record > COVID-19 > click on green...
Just checking in with Q2 uPSA, still <0.014 so doing well there. I have gotten into a routine of not taking any supplements for 5 days prior to the test. I am on a 5mg Amlodipine Besylate as only...
A little tired day after the shot. 1st Pfizer shot last Saturday, 2nd set up for Apr 3rd Went to my wife's hospital set-up in the former Sears store a few towns away from me. Well run, sign said they...
If you get a chance, try to get physical copies of you medical records. As others have said, might be something on them to have checked out. Or more practically, if you move to different location,...
Good to hear about the updates. If you were a long term or current smoker, see if you can get enrolled in the Low Dose CT Lung Scan program to catch anything early....
No SE's She (and I) are vaccinated every year for regular flu - no issues. I get a slightly sore arm for a day......
My wife (who has had both doses of the Pfizer vax - RN) told me that she heard from others at work today that CVS should be up and running with their program this week in Northern NJ....
excellent news Reltnie! Congrats and many more Zeros for you!...
Thanks guys, always keeping an eye on it though! Paying it forward a bit, I asked my surgeon and my original urologist about being part of the hospital's PC monthly meetings for newly diagnosed guys...
30 months post op and 22 months post ART, latest draw this past week <0.014. Blessed and thankful to the medical team and my brothers here at Healing Well for their guidance and encouragement!...
Hi Fred, Just as an aside, I also refrain from supplements (unless under Dr's orders) for about a week prior to getting my uPSA test. Just got my undetectable back this morning from Monday's blood...
My wife had her 2nd Pfizer shot today. Sore arm - her co-workers did have some side effects - slight fever or cough for a few days. I'm still waiting as I'm working from home anyway - something about...
Hey MoTown! Congrats, that makes a minimum of two of us in Morris County NJ with undectable PSA. I'm still doing 3 month testing for now. Dr said it was up to me to decide so I'll continue along this...
[quote}Yes, it is just your experience. Go to any store, see where things are made, report back, and if much of it isn't made in China I will eat my hat on a live stream you can post here. As far as...
Noticing a lot less made in China stuff recently...could just be my experience If you get a chance, visit China, outside of the major cities, you'll be amazed (and maybe not in a good way). Or...
My wife got her's last week (she's at Morristown Medical Center, NJ) - Pfizer. I'm waiting a bit - but am under 65, etc. - never been an early adaptor. She works with a lot of COVID Positive...
I wonder if the pandemic will end if the PCR is set to 30 or lower with the incoming administration? ;>)...
Eventbright works well, we use it for NJ Audubon scheduled walks...
I haven't been back since I finished radiation - I did visit the RO one time 9 months after I finished ART. I do call my RALP surgeon's office a couple of weeks prior to when I want to get the uPSA...
Great News TrailGuy I'm glad you found a Dr with a plan and a probable solution for your situation Best of luck with the new treatment...
Main reason why I ignore politicians from either side - they have no answers...
If you feel comfortable about it, ask the Dr about doing a retest in 6 weeks or so. I had a very slight bump up late last year and the Dr sent me a new script to repeat in 6 weeks. I did refrain from...
quite a few Chinese workers in Italy making --- clothing made in Italy...they can carry the label. Most factories are in the Lombardy region (Milan area was super hard hit)....
After reading up on some of the therapies being put together (and an indication that the mRNA vaccine type has never been produced to date), I think I'll wait a bit on taking the shot. I've never...
Hey Dijn, thanks for finding out the answer on this. My doc thought that that may be the case with the change and I let him know too!...
Excellent news NorCal! Continued < for years to come! I'm getting really close to feeling the same way - will watch it but looking more like in the rear view mirror...
But we have 3 planets visible most clear nights for a few weeks now Jupiter very bright in the southern sky. Saturn much fainter just to its east And a spectacular, bright Mars in the eastern sky...
