Thank you!!

Well my fist friend with the 21 PSA and 4+4 had Robotic Surgery yesterday, Dr said he didn't think there was anything left behind but no Biopsy report yet. He has to keep his Catheter in for 3...

Just got around to making the call to Quest that I was given the number for and I get this response, "I am sorry the Verizon customer you are trying to reach no longer yada yada"
Simply amazing!

Got it, will give him the advice.

Walked into the local Quest Office in my quest for the holy "Less Than Symbol". Got ratcheted up to a new 866 number. I will call tomorrow. Don't worry, I am not obsessing, I just like to get what I...

Glad to hear! I had Biopsy issues, infection, 5 days in the Hospital. My wife took me to the emergency room on a Saturday. I had called my Dr and got his Exchange, that Dr said emergency Room or just...

I hate to say it but I have had two good friends diagnosed with PC in the last 2 months, #1 is having Robotic on the 21st of this month and I just found out another friend has been diagnosed. His Dr...

Thanks, guys! Duck2, I hear you about getting another lab to do another PSA test but I am going to weigh that right now as I want to get to the bottom of the issue with Quest, my Dr just blew it off...

Well, after discussing the lack of a "Less Than" symbal with my Uro. I asked him to call Quest and ask them why after 7 straight less than 0.02 PSA tests following Robotic Surgery all of a sudden...

I have found another forum where this has been a QD issue also. Some claim, that it pertains to what machine was doing the test???? If that's correct, so much for standards! Uro appt on the 16th of...

Thanks Duck2, I thought for consistency, I should be using the same lab, am I wrong on that? Also, I just talked to my Uro's assistant and he says that the lab (Quest) has changed their format, and...

Just had my Dr's assistant send me over results of my 2 year anniversary PSA test. Wanted to share! However, as I looked closer it does not have the "Less than sign" in front of the PSA, ICMA 0.02...

Thanks everyone! Much appreciated. Just trying to keep him focused and positive!

Whoo Hoo DJinTonic! Sucha a great feeling everytime you go for your PSA result and you are below 0.02 and holding. As you know I am right behind you on the diagnostics and Robo Surgery. 2 year PSA...

Thanks guys,I am hoping he joins the forum. I have pushing him hard to do so. He has had a bone scan ordered but his next appointmentwith his URO (who he "likes" is September 12th) Maybe I am jumping...

Thanks DJIN, I have told my best friend to join the forum and post tomorrow as there are more people qualified to advise that me. I have comforted him to the best of my ability but it is limited....

Best to you on all your Anniversaries to come!

When I am on the forum, I always look for your posts, I am with you, don't worry and move forward, quite frankly I do get a bit nervous when I am opening the e-mail or letter with my latest PSA test....
