Guest guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I don't know what happened to the subject line box? I wanted to let folks know that my husband Gregg's latest PSA test came in at .85. He finished his proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT) at Loma University Medical Center, 23 months ago and we have been holding our breath all the while waiting for it to drop to under one. I know that there in nothing really magic in that, and certainly is not a guarantee. But his PSA has been hovering between 1.2 and 1.4 with a one time bounce up to 1.7 for about 20 months. His first PSA four months after completing his treatment was 1.2. This was a drop from his pre-treatment PSA of 4.9 I can tell you that his sexual function is undiminshed. He had about 10 months of minor, infrequent rectal bleeding starting about a year after treatment. This seems to be a thing of the past as he has not had any for several months. He has reduced amounts of ejaculate. Sometimes more than others but as he says, " that door hasn't closed yet " . Gregg just tured 60 and life is indeed good at the moment.
