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.

Brian,
I think John Q still has a prostate so the free PSA might have some use to see how the cancer is being kept under control or not. It might give enough information so that fewer biopsies are required but I also haven't read any articles on its use in this situation but it seems like a good idea.
The 0.1 PSA is a good number as it indicates very low PC level in the body.
