Here is my original thread:
Well, I completed my 35 radiation treatments in December, and I had my first follow-up meeting with my Oncologist.
We KICKED CANCERS BUTT!!!
My PSA was 0.05, and all we do going forward is to pull blood and check my PSA against the 0.05 baseline. For reference, my PSA was 22.5 when I had it checked in July. It had risen to 28.9 5 weeks later. Anything over 4.0 is suspect, and a rapidly rising PSA number is especially concerning.
As a reminder to you guys who are over 50, please have your PSA checked It only take a little blood draw to have it checked. It may save you from a lot of discomfort later!
Awesome! Great to hear that news today!
