Just received my 18 month post brachy results . PSA is 0.7,no change from 6 months ago. Clinic not at all concerned. But I wonder...maybe I am having a bounce as psa should be lower like about 0.4? Comments?

A bounce means that PSA goes up instead of down. Who told you your PSA should be lower, or did you just pull that out of thin air?

Tallman, the drop is unpredictable and can flatten out before finding a nadir. It took me six years to find my bottom number. I think you are doing just fine.
