1.Monday’s: PSA (Prostate specific antigen) 06/08 were 0.75ng/mL vs 1.032ng/mL 03/10. My Testosterone- level is still < 5.0ng/dL In a Cancer patient me, Low #’s are good lower #’s are great. You do the math.

2.06/08 CT scan Abdomen/Pelvis: NO evidence of ‘new’ or ‘progressing’ metastatic disease in Abs/Pelvis

3.06/08 CT scan Chest: NO thoracic ‘adenopathy’ ie: disease or enlargement of gland tissue Lymph Nodes. NO pulmonary nodules ie: NO small masses of rounded or irregular shape.

4.06/08 NM Skeletal Bone Scan whole body: NO evidence of skeletal metastatic disease.

I was a bit skeptical and i actually re-asked my Med Onc, he said Yes no evidence of Cancer and smiled. Your PSA is 0.75 too. Ok I asked his RN Leanne, she agreed plus told be point blank your meds are working.

Yeh, I've got my hot exercising hands on CT & NM Scans and believe it? It's still sinking in.

But it's so good a feeling to enjoy.

You finally got below 1.0 PSA . Very good. My first scan showing bone mets resolved was great to see=, I'm sure you agree. Best of luck in future.

Yes. Maybe it’s exercising twice daily.

Could be my improved heart function. EF 02/14/2020 was 55% which is really normal compared to May 2011. Or eating healthy or healthier. Will see what PSA/Testosterone labs say 09/08.

I may repeat PSA in my own thru Request a Test you can order online, pay minimal $ and then get labs done at Lab Corp or Quest.

Thanks for encouragement barrybayarea.
