Jack,

After BCG my psa also increased. We are tracking the trend in psa values versus the BCG. It was highest right after the initial 6 weeks, but has decreased since being on maintenance. I developed nodules (prostitis?) after the initial BCG and had them biopsied just to be sure (due to a positive FISH also) it was not cancer - it wasn't.

Dear Friends;

I had my cystoscopy on January 17th. My doctor pronounced that my bladder was "beautiful". I can't imagine a pretty bladder but I will not argue. Of some concern is that my PSA came back elevated from August '07 at 2.4 to this one at 4.0. The doctor stated that BCG therapy has a profound impact on PSA values. I had a BCG treatment on October 2, 2007. I hope he is right. I would appreciate any comment from you guyz out there.

Thank you so very much, all of you, for your support, communication, prayers and concerns. All of you continue to be in our prayers and daily thoughts. This is a special community of precious souls and we are blessed to be a part of the "family."

Laubsman
