Pisses me off...how come nobody ever follows up on this sort of thing...what ends up happening to all of these breakthroughs? The same thing happens with amazing new energy producing products..."wow this will change the world", 1 week later - *crickets*...after 2 weeks its never talked about again and everyone forgets it.

I think the thing with a lot of the heralded break throughs you hear about is that you are hearing about them early on in the R & D stages. Chances are that most won't make it through clinical trials and those that do take a long time to get there.

To up date people , at 3 months my PSA was 0.7 Had my 6 month PSA it was 0.5
Dr.s I talk to say not to have a biopsy with that low PSA.
Last April I was told I had prostate cancer this April I appear to be cancer free.
Yea, IRE: NANO KNIFE!!!!!!!!!

[[[[[ UP DATE]]]]]]]]]]]

For those intrested , it has been 1 year since my IRE treatment on my prostate , my PSA is 0.6
So far so good..
For those who don't know a perfect PSA is 0.0
In Nov. 2009 my PSA was 3.9 and jumped up in 6mo.(April 2010) to 4.3 Thats when I had a biopsy and was told I had prostate cancer. Had the IRE Oct. 4,2010.

((((((UP DATE ))))))

To those interested in IRE at 14 months my G.P. checked my prostate said, my prostate was so small he thought I had had it removed. It is now 18 months after my IRE and my PSA is 0.7
