12. Mine was 4.9, but I had a "Strong Family History"

9 week course of radiation about 5 years ago, and it's now down to 0.1.

I know what you mean about the radiation therapy, it kicked me pretty hard too.

Just a year ago, I talked to my cousin, the daughter of my moms' brother who had died from PC, and things were pretty gruesome for him. Didn't get discovered until way too late.

I'm a staunch advocate of making sure any male friends start getting their PSA numbers as soon as possible.
