  DIAMOND  
This is his Country or State Flag

Martin Sachs and Troy live in New York, USA. He was 57 when he was diagnosed in August, 1999. His initial PSA was 4.40 ng/ml, his Gleason Score was 6, and he was staged T1c. His initial treatment choice was Brachytherapy (Seed Implant with ADT) and his current treatment choice is None. Here is his story.

THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO AN UPDATE REMINDER IN 2017 SO THERE IS NO UPDATE.

I decided not to have surgery since the biopsy confirmed it was only in 1 place.

I had hormones (ADT) before the seeds were implanted and then after. I basically stopped taking the hormones two month after the seeds were implanted and as of today I am not taking anything.

I go to my urologist every 6 months for follow up exams and everything is fine. I have been cancer free for 9 plus years and I just had a physical and the PSA was 0.06.

UPDATED

October 2010

As of my last PSA test which was 0.05, I am cancer free in December it will be 10 years since my treatment.

I am happy and healthy now.

UPDATED

April 2012

I now only have to go to the urologist once a year and feel fine. He tells me I am completely cancer free.

UPDATED

May 2013

Hello,

My last physical revealed a PSA; of 0.05 which I guess is undetectable. I will be 71 years old on Monday and I am feeling fine with no adverse effects from the procedures I underwent 13 years ago.

If anyone has any questions feel free to email me.

Thanks

August 2014

I guess I am one of the fortunate people who had prostate cancer. It has been almost 15 years since I was first diagnosed. I am now 72 years old and I am symptom free. My last PSA was 0.05 for which I am greatful.

UPDATED

November 2015

I just had my annual physical and everything is just great. I am now 73 Years old and my PSA; is undetectable. I am very lucky that I am cancer free after 15 years.
