TB Good to see your psa moving in the right direction with the Avodart. EXB...
My surgeon has referred me to a radiologist with an appointment in early June. I plan to see a medical oncologist as well. My PSADT is now 9.75 months using the most recent three psa's. I'll post the...
Tarhoosier I agree wholly with the fat reduction especially bad fat. But I think other things should also be considered. For example ground flaxseed was shown to dramatically reduce PCa proliferation...
David We're in to Portland often. We live near the west shore of Sebago Lake hence the Samon fishing which is great sport. Catch a lot of lake trout also (Togue). I like them for eating but landing...
Vietvet67 I think Casey59 has nailed your answer. If you're considering dairy and red meat you're also probably thinking about or doing other things such as other foods, spices and exercise. I think...
Fiftiesmale For what it's worth I have reached the conclusion that PSADT can be an important action timing tool. My psa trend and Gleason number are similiar to your's. My docs havn't as yet proposed...
David Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts. They're obviously much appreciated by many folks. An RV trip to a favorite camp sight sounds good. People ask me why we don't RV anymore. The...
Casey59 I think your comment about trading fuels for fighters is right on. I have greatly reduced dairy products and red meat. Most lunches are brocolli, Brussel sprouts and cauliflower covered with...
coconut M&M's? Must be the dark chocolate. I gave up pepperoni and sausage pizza about six months ago so anything to spice up a vegy pizza. I'm all for it. I will have to be more consistant though...
Terry I have to believe that diet improvements can only be beneficial. Over the years my wife has made a great effort to prepare healthy meals which made it difficult when I began to modify my diet...
gadget My only regret is that I hadn't discovered this site right after diagnosis. We sold our house in California right before diagnosis in April. We moved to Maine after buying a house long...
Jeff Delighted to hear of your good progress. I've been using Trimix. I had not considered the inplant option until I read your reports which were very well done. Thankyou so much. Hope your good...
Jeff Thanks for the input. Your psa history is an example of why it's so hard to judge what it means. Your's flattened for a while where you could have thought it was benign tissue but later took off...
TB I did note the >.1 on msk website. Using the points .15 and .18 the site gives me 11.5 months PSADT. I'll have another point first week in May. You have a good point on benefit of SRT, however, I...
goodlife I asked my oncologist for additional information during last visit. I then forgot to remind him at end of visit. I'm going to call and ask that info be sent. Thanks for your suggestion. I...
TaurusBull Thanks for the input. If it is benign tissue recovery and growth, is there a range of psa where you would expect flattening? I will be patient as long as PSADT continues to increase. I...
This does sound promising. I personnally know this type of research has been going on for many years. It's good to hear of a promising payoff. I participated in immune system testing about 30 years...
I recall posts on vitamin D but no mention of serum measurements. Has anyone had this measurement as part of any blood test battery? It was not included in the last Metabolic Profile that I had....
68roadrunner I suppose a small number of cancer cells remained in the area, had gotten out of the area, new cells had gone bad, and/or there is benign tissue growth. If you discuss with your...
I am coming up on 77. I was diagnosed with PC in March at age 73 and had the Da Vinci procedure in July 08. I had done some reading which led me to a decision but I did not become aware of this site...
My wife and I miss the spontaneity. Good to know about the Sudafed....
I have been reading postings at this site for some time with particular interest in benign tissue, diet, and further treatment options. I appreciate very much the information and support offered in...
