Had a PSA test 19th April, and saw my GP Thursday 27th. Last test was in August 2016. The latest result is the lowest I've had since 2003, just 1.4!!!!! BSEGrin, eh?! This does not mean it's all over, as it may well take <1 year until I can be fairly certain it IS over. The supplied booklet suggests that the 'symptoms' of the treatment may last another 6 months.? Tiredness and frequent uncomfortable 'visits'. Strangely, we are now both feeling even more tired, perhaps because this was the first check on progress, and it's such a good number. We were given a bottle of Moet last Xmas which we will crack when Prof. Stricker and the oncologist reckon I'm clear. I will be truly confident when they move me from 3mth intervals for PSA tests to 6 mths, even yearly? Thanks again for your support! Warmest Tim Bailey Skeptical Measurer & Audio Scrounger |

I hope it keeps going in this positive direction! Do not get blase' though (not that you ever would). Keep up the 3 monthly checks forever! Trying to hide from entropy John K |
