just diagnosed v

another PSA test result 1.2 (Oct. 6, 2006)

Guess I'm doing OK.

Had Brachytherapy at the end of Nov, 2005.

Feel fine now, no problems.


BTW, my cholesterol last January was 260, Dr prescribed Vitorin. It
went to 198 in the Summer, and 166 as of Oct. 6th.

Make sure s/he monitors your liver enzymes for signs of muscle damage,
RUN to him/her at the first sign of any unexplained muscle or joint
pain, and watch (and have someone else watch) for memory lapses, as in
blocks of lost time you cannot recall. None of these side effects is
likely unless you're quite athletic, but any of them can be serious to
very serious if it occurs and many U.S. doctors are not up to speed on
them. Also . . . any dosage over 10-20 mg/day is suspected of raising
the SEs without raising the benefit -- presuming there IS any benefit
from drug-lowered cholesterol.

memory lapses? I wish.

God, there are so many memories I would pay money to be able to forget.
