Just got the call from my older brother. His PSA is now 1.19

His brachy procedure was last May and so far he's had few SEs. His PSA before the procedure was around 11 with G7.

The doctor has told him the next PSA test will be in 9 months.

Don't think there could be a better result. We're very happy.

I am so glad that we came across Dr. Kurtzman. The cesium seems to have done the trick and is in my book of recommended things. I had my doubts about the whole thing when we started out but all I can say now is, wow, great result.

Man I love the days I check in here and see GREAT NEWS. Send my congrats along to your brother along with everyone else's.

I guess its back to the shop for you now, but with a little less worry. And that is some good stuff anytime.

Thanks for all the comments. Feels good to be able to celebrate a little. Looks like I'll be taking my brother out to his favorite hamburger place for a little party this weekend.

and I just posted some progress pictures of my current shop project on my blog if anyone is interested.

Andrew,

From one woodworker to another, the "Cross" is looking great. Many moons ago, I purchased a small scroll saw but haven't used it much. I build furniture and small clocks. From 1971-1987, I worked full time as a sub-contractor doing general construction and specializing in "Trim (wood) " work. I trimmed homes up to 7,100 sq ft here in the Memphis, TN area. April 1987, got my first job at a local hospital (maint. dept), and retired from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Jan. 2011 (early retirement)!! A couple weeks ago, I sold my ShopSmith as I didn't use it much.

Keep up the great work.

Dave

I need to clean up my shop a bit (using my double car garage). Doesn't take long for things to get out of place!

Keep up the great work.

Dave
