After 5 straight PSA increases every 6 months since my IMRT in 2010 i finally got one that went down. From 0.29 to 0.25. My RO said i should take this as good news for now but will just have to see what happens in another 6 months. Next visit is with my MO. Hope for another decrease and go on from that one.

pT3b NO MO Focally positive margin and perineural invasion. Gleason 3 + 4=7 Stage 111.

RP 2006.
