Halbert thank you. I feel very fortunate to have the continence I have. If I keep having the occasional drips during the day I’ll be fine with that. I’ve gone the last three nights with no issues....
Thank you Peter. That all makes sense and I really appreciate your input. I agree that the latter two are ver important for me. I am fortunate and have continence beyond what I thought I would. I am...
Thank you. My surgeon did say he isn’t concerned about the .05. I have calmed and am ok with waiting for the next test. I’m glad to have found so much info here. Thanks again....
Makes perfect sense....
I did run into not having enough character space. I will look at yours and others and knock it down. Thank you....
Thank you Djin. I have updated my signature and appreciate the education on what that stuff means. I guess I had a G7 biopsy. No EPE was great because that was their concern. They showed three...
Thank you! I used this once before. I don’t recall the outcome but will try it again....
Halbert so far MSK doesn’t want me to go elsewhere for the PSAs but I’m sure if they go undetectable for a couple years I could do that. Trips to the city aren’t bad now but in the winter and as...
Djin. Thank you. I don’t take anyone’s input as trying to make me worry. I like as much info as I can get. Unfortunately I am not familiar with G6 biopsies and am not sure what the G9 means. I know...
Halbert I am in a small town called Constable, NY. We are about 1 hour north of Plattsburgh NY. Way upstate. Rochester is about 4.5 hours from us....
Mumbo, I'm thinking that the lowest value would be <0.05, with the less-than sign, just like all other PSA tests that I'm familiar with, in which case 0.05 would represent a measurable concentration...
Thank you Pratoman. That is good info to have I will ask them if it was just a typo. It would make sense if that is their cut off. It would also alleviate a bit of worry. That may be why he said he...
Thank you Bill for the generous offer. I am sure I will be making many trips in the future. I will definitely keep you in mind and it would be good to have coffee sometime. The train is definitely...
Thank you Djin. Good to know. I will definitely just be waiting to see how the next goes. I will probably need to ask more questions also. Thank you again for the insight. Mark...
Definitely sounds like the genetic testing is about the same. I joked with my children (all girls) and told them that the good news is they will not get PCa. Haha. MSK seemed confident that one way...
Hey Bill. Thank you. Good to know I’m not the only Northern NYer that has sub par medical facilities. I’m glad you chose MSK. Many in my area go to Burlington VT but they seem to be having many mor...
Thank you once again Mumbo. I did read the study and saw right away that it didn’t really apply to me. I will wait for the next one and go from there. I appreciate the support and positivity. I...
Thank you Duck2 for the input. I’ll definitely be vigilant and keep up with the screenings. Not much choice. Going to focus on keeping moving forward in between those months....
Thank you Halbert! I can’t that you all enough. It helps a lot hearing from so many with similar situations. My surgeon said that he doesn’t need another PSA for six months. Sometime in December. I...
Thank you jmadrid. It is good to hear that I am jumping the gun a little. My PSA test from the cancer center did not use the < symbol in the 8 week PSA but I will wait for the next one. Thank you...
Thank you Mumbo. I do have the pathology report. Is there something special should look for? Overall I think it was good. Positive surgical margins was the most concerning. I will definitely look...
Thank you! I appreciate the response. I’m sure with time and hopefully many good test results I will calm and learn to roll with this new ride I’m on....
Thank you lapilot. I really appreciate the info. The only info on the post op PSA states that it was EIA, Beckman Access DxI. and the range was from 0.00 to 4.00. I’m sure he is trying to just keep...
My deepest sympathies for you and your family. May he Rest In Peace....
Hi all. I apologize as I am sure everyone here has read a million of these stories and questions. At 52 I have had to have a prostectomy. It has now been about 10 weeks since surgery. It had been...
