04.17.08 Update on Jerry PSA / Diarrea / Colitus

Even though recently Jerry has been feeling okay... just a few problems with feeling tired, enemia and periodic intestinal problems. Jerry's PSA has soored to 15.6. Normal PSA range should be in the 0.290-5.600. Obviously, the lower the better. Jerry's PSA at the time of his diagnosis 8 years ago was about 26.0. Since 08/2007 Jerry's PSA has been between 4.1 and 7.9, until last month, when it jumped to 11.9. Now this month it has jumped, again, significantly to 15.6. Because of the C-diff; Colitus and his continued intestinal problems since December 07 his daily medications and monthly treatments are passing right though and not working as well as they should. If the intestinal infection doesn't get cleared up his PSA will continue to rise. As always, please keep Jerry in your thoughts and prayers.
