- The good news is that Mike's tumor is considerably smaller after the 8 weeks of radiation.
- The bad news is that his PSA is up again. The score was 3.9 yesterday.
I give up guessing what all this means. So I'll just give you my humble opinion. The tumor in his prostate has shrunk because that's what radiation does. It zaps the sucker into oblivion. What I'm not convinced it does is erase the rest of the cancer from anywhere else. That is what his body is fighting right now. The stuff that has already spread. His radiation was very specifically targeted to the largest problem areas. So, while the score is not terribly high, it is rising.
