Earlier Christmas present
Yes, I got a Christmas present today.
The PSA of today’s results come at 0.85 ng/ml. The Testosterone was 4.89 ng/ml (489 ng/dL). 
These values are lower than the last ones taken in September 2013, and represent a plateau after the steep increase at the beginning of my “vacations” from HT drugs. This is a surprise and difficult to understand but I am thrilled.
I am on the 20th month of my off-drugs period and still waiting for the PSA to reach the mark of 2.5 to get a PET/CT image study for locating the bandit’s living quarters. I am enjoying life without the side effects and hopefull to the day I will Zzzzapppp the bandit for good.
The chronology of the PSA while in “vacations” is as follows:
Nov 2011: PSA=0.02, T=0.32 (last Eligard 6-month shot)
May 2012: PSA=0.02, T=<0.01 (End of Eligard’s effectiveness; Starting Off-Drugs perio
Aug 2012: PSA=0.02, T=0.11
Nov 2012: PSA=0.03, T=0.56
Jan 2013: PSA=0.13, T=2.52 (PSADT=1.96 months; PSAv=0.20 ng/ml per month)
May 2013: PSA=0.71, T=3.84 ng/ml (384 ng/dL)
Jul 2013: PSA= 0.73, T=3.44
Sep 2013: PSA=0.88, T=4.90
Dec 2013: PSA=0.85, T=4.86
