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.

I had a hard time reading your short hand, but if I read it correctly, you are post-treatment (radiation), and your PSAs are still low and good.

did I read that right? if so, congrats!

Re: New to this Forum

Yes Thanks.....so far so good!

Re: New to this Forum

forgot to ask, any side effects from treatment? It's important for us pre-treatment guys to know. Thanks in advance.

Thank God, most of my SEs have subsided. My biggest challenge was the HT and SEs for that took awhile to wear off. Two years later I'm still below 0 PSA and everything has returned to normal(whatever normal is at our age....lol)
