[Guest guest]

What was the change in your PSA, if any, when you were only taking

the PC-Spes between Nov 98 and Jun 99?

Hi Jim,

Started pc-spes on 22 Mar99. PSA was 6.7. Went to 2.3 at the time I

switched to triple hormone blockade. That took 6 months to get to

" undetectable " where it remains.

Cheers,

R. Kavalar
