Prostate Cancer continues to eliminate too many of my compatriots with some who were diagnosed too late by retarded/ill informed GPs. Now with my OBE (Over Bloody Eighty) and having come through the Prostate mill with some success I continue to be concerned by an elevated PSA which has plateaued at around 12. Are there others out there who have also plateaued at an elevated PSA after treatment?
My Prostate was eliminated by cryo-surgery at age 68 following 2 bad biopsies out of 6. Cryogenics enabled the freezing destruction of selected portions of the gland using liqiid nitrogen via inserted probes under ultrasonic visuals.
Now I am left wondering whether we aviators have been zapped by too many cosmic rays. It seems we have a higher rate of PC than others.
If you are content to go sooner to the big hangar in the sky after much suffering then don't bother to keep tabs on your PSA which remains as the best indicator that you may be a victim.
