Default finished up my radiation today

Yep,,, got a good report today as today was my last of 83 (every day for 83 days) radiation treatments. Dr said looks good , see you in 1 month, and then in 3 months we will know if i am cancer free.

he was amazed that my PSA dropped from 6.9 to 2.8 , he said most people's PSA don't drop until a few months after treament,, so no BACK to the track in a week or so.

I hate to think of the sunburn you've gotten. Aloe Vera is stinky but effective ….. never mind. I'm just happy to hear the positive results without the use of an ice cream scooper.

Congrats Jim!
Always good to hear positive news with prostate cancer. Like I have said on this site a few times - a large % of men driving Crossfires are at an age that they should talk to their Dr's about a PSA test! Good Luck and thanks for helping spread the word by posting.
