Re: up-date---I am happy

It is good to hear that you are happy and

that your PSA continues to be low, although you may have the wrong end of the

stick about only having to wait two more years to be declared ‘biologically

cured’. Some failure is reported well after the five year limit you have

mentioned so you will need to continue to be vigilant even after that period

has elapsed.

Sorry to hear that the repetitious nature

of question and answer is a source of annoyance to you, but regrettably men are

constantly being diagnosed and in their state of fear and concern they have

questions that need answering. The fact that many of us have seen the questions

before does not mean that they are any less important for the people who ask

them and they deserve to have an answer to reduce their anxiety. If that means

that some answers are repetitive, so be it. Be grateful that you are no longer

in their position.

All the best

up-date---I am happy

Hello, Peeps---I haven't participated much at all in

this slurry of

inane questions and answers. What bugs me most is the repetious(sp?).,

(over and over), routine of questions and answers. I have a particle of

info to contribute. I just celebrated my 36 month PSA. This is the

result of external beam therapy and seed implant. I WAS bad off because

I ignored the first three years of rising PSA results. I am proud to

declare that my test result last week was 0.1, as it has been for the

past 3 years. I am happy. I am aware that I have 2 more years to go

before I am declared biologically cured and I am waiting with a

contented breath. Thanks for your ears.
