This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
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.

Hi Phil,
Well yes it does seem highly unusual, perhaps even maybe a lab error (it does happen). Plus 3 month post treatment PSA check is the norm. I guess if I were in your situation, I would be a tad sceptical. Let us know how you get on at the 3 month check.
John
Thanks for your reply. I plan to get another PSA in a month.I don't know how I will react if the results are considerably different.It would seem to me that something this important would be checked and double checked before the results were given to a patient.My rad oncologist has a PHD ( which doesn't necessarily mean anything), but he didn't seem surprised at my low PSA level.
THANKS AGAIN, PHIL
