16 Month post proton PSA - still heading in the right direction

Paul had his 16 month post proton PSA test on 9/24/08. The result is 0.4 ng/ml, down 50% from the March 2008 reading of 0.8.

Needless to say, we're very happy about this. I'm especially pleased as I've read at least one study that cites a nadir of less than 0.5 ng/ml as being predictive of better long term patient outcome.

Here is the Loma Linda study I cite:
