No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Patrick: With PCa things don't go south that quickly and has a tendency to zig-zag around to what you might expect next. I had surgery in '05 and in '08 completed radiation therapy and was told by the radiation oncologist the therapy was successful with a .05 reading. I decided to have another PSA done 3 months later and it went back up. Talked to the doctors again and they have no answers other than lets wait another 3 months. My story here is soon you will level out and accept things as they slowly come and not think negatively as you have much time and every day as we sit here and worry, thousands in the medical research profession are working on new medical products to help manage and cure this disease.
