On another note - I wanted to know what is the waiting period in weeks as to when your PSA can be checked after a prostatectomy ?


Consultant seemed to say any time after 4 weeks - others are saying between 6 - 8 weeks ? I was wondering whether how long the latent PSA left in my blood stream would take to come down ?


Also, have other post-op patients here have been approached to take part in trials - Have been approached w.r.t an Aspirin trial but, on further reading it looks like one might get a placebo or a very high daily dose of 300mg of Aspirin. The odds of getting the 100mg aspirin will be a low 33%. Not even sure if 100mg is high to take daily. My mother suffered from stomach bleeding because of NSAIDs (of which Aspirin is one type) so I am still placing what I am going to do that on hold.
