3 Years Later it's basically watching the PSA chart.

7 November 2000

 

 

All has been normal since the last report 2 years ago. My hip joint on the side of the prostate cancer has hurt from time to time. I have to watch out for ejaculation not occurring withing 48 hours of a PSA test to make sure it doesn't go up 40% erroneously. Erectile function has been good. Still not as good as the old days but works very nicely. We think we have the best sex we'ver ever had.

 

The urologist doesn't really know what the PSA is supposed to do since he knows more the surgical end so I depend on my Oncologists advice for most questions.

 

I still feel xradiation was the best for my condition. I think surgery is potentially a better candidate for people who catch it significantly earlier, stay T1 staging with lower gleason numbers.

 

Feel free to call me at 818-952-0312 if you want to talk anything over specifically.
