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.

Thanks Don,
I will be seeing my oncologist between 1st and 15th October 2018, i.e., next month. I will update you after the review.
I think 5.22 ng/mml is equivalent to 522 ng/dl
My regards,

Dear Colleagues,
As I promised, I saw my oncologist on 17th October 2018 for review. He simply told me that they base the assessment of my state of prostate cancer on the PSA and not on testosterone level. Since my PSA was 0.23, he didn't see any problem and gave me a review after one year. He said that since I wasn't castrated surgically but on ADT, my testosterone is likely to rise. However, it will only become problematic if it goes beyond the maximum level in the range.
Regards,
fcb
