I came across your blog note here and you are so right . I am post RP by 3 years and 2 years Post EBRT, ...after 22 sessions of EBRT ( External Beam Radiation Therapy) and no other drugs like ADT and so on . RO said I did not need it . I asked him 3 times ! Gleason was 3+4 originally . Im 61 now. Hike everyday for at least 8-10 km's...swim and sauna as well. My PSa since EBRT went from 0.14 , then to 0.072 , last time was 0.056 . Im due for PSA in 2 weeks . Lord , I am full of anxiety ! Cant sleep right . Wife is very supportive , BUT .... Yes, I know my PSA is relatively low , and the trend is my friend here . My father died of Protate Cancer . I was his caregiver . I was there for his horrible death . Man , this PC has consumed my life ! Any ideas ? James on Vancouver Island .

James, I certainly understand your feelings as I am going through a similar journey. I had my first PSA (ultra sensitive) after my radiation and ADT. My score was .014. I saw my RO today and he stated there was nothing to do at this point but wait for another test in 3 months and watch for a trend - and live my best life in the interim. Brutal! My father died of PC as well. Your trend looks great - but I know that doesn't make the wait for the next test any easier. Good luck and I will be watching for your future posts. jim
