Well finally got a hold of my Oncologist for my latest PSA results from last Wednesday and he said he wanted to check them again before calling me because the latest PSA is 1.3 down from 3.5 in 3 months!  I said are you sure they are mine he said they double checked the results, he asked what I was doing I told him the supplements I have been taking over the last 3 months and he said whatever it is keep it up because it seems to be working.

MJ and I just returned from our anniversary and my birthday cruise and this is the best present we could ever get.  I have no idea why but I am just enjoying it while it last!

Truly wonderful, Jerry, and truly amazing, what a present you received. I am very happy for you, and hope it continues in that direction, no matter what the cause.

What great news! I sure was hoping to see the turnaround for you and everyone else wandering down the trail after SRT. And Happy Birthday and anniversary.... book another cruise quick, you have more reason to celebrate.

Our best,

David & Jakester

Thank you both for your kind words and support.  This PC is crazy I was sure the PSA was going up again and then goes down over 2 points.

A long way from 0 but I will take what I can get any slowing down is good for me.

So glad it wasn't 'bad' shocking! Just by reading your signature, I can tell you have been through a lot. So glad the tide is turning for you, however it is happening!

JERRY -whatever you are doing - keep doin' it.... each person is different and what works for you may not work for someone else -
-if you got a formula of supplements, exercise, etc - onward and upward - with the numbers going downward and lower and ....

Jerry:

That is fabulous news. Hey, is it possible that the SRT was NOT a failure?

(Are you on ADT?).

Congratulations!

You deserve it.

Thank you all for your kind words and support.  I did not list the supplements because I know what may work for one person does not always work for another and some people get upset when these things are listed.  If it continues to go down or stay down I will post the supplements. 

Mel, I always was wondering about the SRT not sure if it could begin to work after a year but who knows.  I was never on ADT although I was seriously considering it if my PSA continued to rise.

That is wonderful news to receive any time especially after a cruise. I hope it continues to drop so you can join the zero club crowd, Keep up the good work. By the way, what is your diet?

When is your next PSA? If it is still going in the right direction, please indicate your supplements.

Well back in January when my last PSA slowed down to 3.5 I told everyone that I had been taking POMX for 2 months and it was the first time it had slowed down.  I know some had tried this and it did nothing so I figured if it work for me I would keep it up.  The only other things I added after my last PSA was Vit D 3000mg and I know this sounds crazy but my wife received an email from our tennis Pro about the benefits of lemon juice and hot water in the morning before you have anything else.  It is a detox for your liver and this article, which I cannot find, said it has some promise in fighting cancer cells.  So I thought what do I have to lose nothing else worked and it is only lemon juice.  So every morning (even on the cruise) I took my lemon juice with hot water and this time the results were amazing.  Not sure if this is the reason or if it was just a one time thing but something worked, so take it for what it is worth.  My next PSA is in July so that should really tell the story.  Since I would want to know about anything that might slow down PSA, I decided to share.

Jerry,

What are your supplement secrets?

Jerry,  this is wonderful news....Tim

My PSA rose from 3.7 to 4.8 in one year.  The alarm went off when I went passed 4.

After 6 weeks of antibiotics, it was now 4.7.  2-3 weeks prior to the biopsy I was taking GNC prostate and virility vitamins, and 100% pomagranate juice, tastes good with vodka too :>.

Prior to my biopsy my PSA was 4.2.  Was it the supplements ? Not sure, but I'm taking the vitamins like tic-tacs, and mixed drinks always have "the juice".  I have high hopes that it is at least stoping progression prior to surgery
