Great news Tempest. I decided on surgery back in 2004. January 2010 PSA 0.01

A friend of mine had the same treatment and it's been 8 years, he's fine!! Great stuff!

Excellent readings-- seeing that you did not undergo a radical prostatectomy, but a seed implant.

It's good to see that you are having your PSA tested biannually, and that those readings have been declining over time. That's definitely what you want to see- a decline, and not a rise.

FWIW, I receive an informative, free subscription to "Quest" magazine- published 3 times a year. It's a prostate health/cancer newsletter that Dr. Catalona publishes.
