Hi Phil , your surgery was 5 years ago ? ....did your PSA go to Zero after surgery , Mine did not , it hung around 0.07 , then started to rise slowly , so 1 year ago I had EBRT . At first, it bounced downwards and then hung around 0.14 for the longest time. That's the PSA range that I went into the radiation clinic at . after about 6 to 7 months, it started to come down. First at 0.072 and now at 0.056. So expect a delay . I know some guys after surgery at five and six and 10 years still at 0.008 which is the unreadable mark in Canada . After 22 sessions and 1 year I think things are good ! So you have been to Vancouver ? I am from there . Moved here 5 years ago ,roughly the same time I was diagnosed with PC . Vanc city is getting expensive and overrun with immigration.... Vancouver Island still the paradise it always has been , BUT getting busier . You should have seen it while here . One of the world's marvels ! Very unique climate and forest . We have wild Orchids here ! Salmon galore , Old Growth , Wild apple trees, and the climate is different than the mainland 40-50% less rain in winter than Vancouver or Seattle . Thank God ! My local Costco is my gauge of how our population is 🙂 . Fishing and hunting is still very good and easy ! Cod fishing Super easy for a 15-20 lb Ling Cod if you like those ! As the salmon run comes back starting at the end of Sept , you have to watch for bears too by the creeks . Yes , Gods country for sure ....BUT our liberal government is horrible ( I wont get into what this guy has done to our country ! ) . What state are you from ? My boy played NCAA Div 1 on scholarship - been to so many states , maybe yours (?) . yes no worries about the Constipation , the EBRT therapy will cure that ! HA!!! . Best of the day my friend . James on Vancouver Island .
