Yes that might explain the wide gap in PSA results between the two Labs. But I probably won't get another Lab result until a week before my next appointment in May and Dr. Dunshee will have to send me another Requisition. In the mean time I'll just have to take it one day at a time.

Thank you very much for the article on hot flashes. I had to laugh at the part "Estrogen is the primary hormone used to reduce hot flashes." Funny, but I don't think I qualify. Since getting the injection of Eligard last Tuesday I've really only experienced one minor what might be called a hot flash. I can only go by what I used to experience after the Lupron injection in April. I took the first tablet of Bicalutamide 50 mg at bedtime last night. I seem to remember him prescribing that to help with the hot flashes. Please forgive me if I sound too inquisitive but you mentioned you were on Chemo. I showed Dr. Dunshee a printout I copied from the Internet that Chemo may cause Peripheral Nephropathy with which I was diagnosed with four years ago. I did not have diabetes! After my heart attack on Feb. 10, 2010, (back when I still trusted the medical profession) a pill pushing Cardiologist named Brenda Peart prescribed a statin called Crestor for 8 years without ever proving to me that I had high cholesterol. It does effect my sleep at least where my left foot is concerned.
