This afternoon I am having blood drawn for my first post-SRT PSA. I'm really, really anxious about this because (I think) I know what is at stake. I know SRT is my last curative attempt. If the PSA does not turn-out well, I'm in to a "non-curative, keep it at-bay for as long as possible" mode, which has me concerned mainly because of my age, my wife, and young kids.

Maybe I'm over-thinking all of this and just suffering from PISS; however, this PSA seems to be a bigger deal than all the previous ones. I'm curious about how others have handled this time in their journey.

Any thoughts or insight is appreciated...

Kark, stay steady, don't get ahead of yourself, you'll know the facts shortly. As you well know and can expect, first post SRT tests can fall anywhere , so the first one isn't usually the important one. It takes a few to really know your outcome, I am told.

Kark, don't get TOO worried about it, it's only been 3 months since you finished SRT.. The 6 month and 9 month are more important...
