Colophony
-- skramer remarks
These are fantastic numbers, Colophony, and you do not know how good they
might get. No one can say whether or not your have reached Nadir. If, in
March and again in June your PSA is still 0.02, then you can, at that time,
say that you have reached Nadir. But, you could just as easily reach Nadir
at 0.01 or even 0.005.
I can tell you that no matter where you reach Nadir, you are far below a
level that you might have imagined. After SRT (Salvation Radiation
Therapy), almost no one reaches a Nadir below 0.1 and here you are looking
at a Nadir possibly 1/10th that amount. You are a very lucky man.
