admin — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 17:40:10 +0000

I received radiation for 2 months in 2003.Since that time my PSA COUNT is an average of 0.6.
I this within normal limits and is not supposed to drop lower than that after treatment?

I’m not sure what your question is, but your PSA is great and “Fer” is no doctor.

Final stage of prostate cancer Radiation: Seeds or another 29 sessions of conventional Radiation?

admin — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 20:26:09 +0000

I would read the links I provided you to give insight on the good/bad side of the procedure(seeds). I personally don’t know much about prostate cancer, but have a Grandfather who had it, and is now (thank god) clear.

If this is for you or someone close to you, I wish you the best
Definitely do some reading and do what you feel is right for you. While 29 sessions might sound bad, maybe it’s better, or vice-versa with the seeds procedure.

“How is Prostate Cancer Detected?” featuring Drs. Tewari and Schlegel (ProstateCancerMD)

admin — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 00:46:04 +0000

“PSA allows us to detect prostate cancer several years before that nodule would develop, at a much earlier stage, and therefore at a much more curable stage.” Drs. Schlegel (Department Chairman) and Tewari of Cornell Urology discuss the application of PSA tests, digital rectum exams, and other approaches that enable urologists to diagnose prostate cancer earlier. A family history of prostate cancer and the implications relative to a diagnosis of prostate cancer is also discussed. The need to receive a PDA and at what age is also covered by one of the leading prostate cancer researchers.

http://prostate-cancer-symptoms.info

Symptoms of prostate cancer may include the following: urinary problems, such as not being able to urinate, having a hard time starting or stopping the flow of urine, needing to urinate often, especially at night, weak flow of urine, urine flow that starts and stops, pain or burning during urination, difficulty having an erection, blood in the urine or semen, and/or frequent pain in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs. Prostate cancer usually does not cause symptoms in the beginning stages. By the time symptoms do occur, the disease may have spread beyond the prostate.

The “Prostate Cancer Treatment” report includes a review of possible signs and symptoms (such as weak flow of urine or painful ejactulation); descriptions of the various tests used for diagnosis (including digital rectal exam and prostate-specific antigen test); an explanation of the various stages of prostate cancer (Stages I, II, III, and IV); an overview of treatment options (including watchful waiting, surgery, and radation therapy); and also includes 10 pages of related medical terminology (to help you understand what your medical provider is talking about.
