For those that have followed Tim's progress here are some numbers. Pre RP...PSA 22..G-9..12/12 Positive..pt3bno..epe..svi..pni Post rp Jan 2012 0.03 Is it too early to establish doubling time. If calculated we are at 5.14 months. If this goes to 0.2 in three months the D/T decreases to 4.3 months and so on. This has really got him down but I'm not sure if this is part of the PSA bounce I hear about. Feedback wanted.......Jeff UPDATED: Seems that someone misread Tim's last PSA and scared the hell out of him. The updated PSA is <.01 and not 0.1. Remember guys....confirm those numbers. Tim came very close (hours) to getting a 6 month dose of Lupron and spent a week and a half in terror after getting this false report. Alot of red faces at his Onc's office today. Jeff |

Considering the clinical pre surgical factors this is as good as could be expected. I hope his healing has continued and continence regained. I have not looked into prior posts from you. Radiation is an expected outcome for such men. Lots of research supports it, and soon.
See: SWOG 8794, original report and the later follow up reports.
also EORTC 22911 just came out this week.
