I woke early and went to the gym at work at 7 am today. I was ravenous and had two breakfasts.
Neither of those things is relevant, but let's say I was already in a good mood when I received a call back from The Christie. I was hoping to find out the results of a PSA test I took on January 26th. My PSA score on October 15th last year when ADT started was 7.2. My PSA score this week is 0.52. I asked for verification - and got it. Then I wrote it on my hand, like you do.

I've got a long way to go, but this has put a spring in my step today.
Glad to be able to share this with you all.

Hello Chris (Odd Man In)
Yes, it's days like these that make life worth living!! . I am 4 years into my journey and have had PSA's from 0.29 to 182 and it's a great feeling when you get a reading lower than the previous one. The strange thing is that I don't worry about test results - well you can't change them can you.
Brilliant result - and as you say time for a celebration - .
Best wishes - Brian.

For reasons various I have now stopped my Prostap after 18 months instead of 24 (originally planned as 3 yrs, then reduced to 2.5). Risk of doing this said to be (in writing) "minimal". I await my next PSA figure with interest !!
Hi moonrakerz (I’ve forgotten how to copy people's names),
That steady decline is reassuring. I’ve become obsessed with facts and figures - I guess that's normal.
My EBRT starts February 10th. Notebook out!
Many thanks

It sounds grander than it was. My ’dirty breafast’ at work on Thursdays is less dirty now, of necessity. It's a 3-egg omelette and a slice of toast.
