Dennis
& Marcia Newkirk live in Oklahoma, USA. Dennis was diagnosed with PCa on January
17, 1998. He was 48 years old with a PSA of 2.6 and a Gleason of 3 + 3 = 6. He
elected to undergo RP.
His
story: My PSA has remained <0.1 since surgery. I've done a great deal of research
on Prostate Cancer and I would be happy to help anyone I can. I am not a physician.
Dennis
is now 55, his PSA is still below 0.10 ng/ml and he moves into Silver Status,
having completed five years after his treatment.
Dennis
is now 57 and his PSA is 0.08 ng/ml after moving to a secondary treatment of Avodart
after a slight PSA rise to .08 four years ago, I've had no changes.
During
my last visit with Dr. Charles "Snuffy" Myers he said that he really doubted that
I have a recurrence even though I do have a detectable PSA. It is doubtful that
there is any indicated doubling time. If there is, the doubling time is more than
two years. His comment was, "At this rate, you'll be a 115 years old before it
gives you any problems.".
