Obviously this has already been discussed a lot here. One very knowledgeable poster seems to agree with you about sugar not being the enemy. And then many post articles and links to why sugar is bad....
Pratoman Yes I met with Jillian. As I said she was knowledgeable but I have mixed feelings about seeing her because of the reasons I listed above. I was told by MSKCC I could see a doctor Latte...
I know that. They actually only have two doctors....and neither specializes in urology. I went to one affiliated with Mt Sinai as her specialty was treating men with radiation induced prostititis....
I've been at .43 and then last checked it was .47 its gone steadily down from 1.4 and stayed at .47 One year and 9 months out. The doctor said that PSA is good considering I had prostititis when they...
I think everyone has their levels of what they think is appropriate. I was just reading a thread about a guy who has had rising psa and is eating very extreme and others posted on his thread that...
I saw an integrative medicine specialist. She told me to have only 3 servings of fruit a day and mostly vegetables. I like VEG (will never say veggies) but I like fruit better. So I am eating at...
I don't know where to post this as there is no forum for constipation. I was treated for prostate cancer two years ago(radiation) and it messed up an already messed up digestive system. I have...
I'm sure there is lots of information online about how many servings of fruit a day someone should have that has been treated for prostate cancer. I know too much sugar is a no no no a triple no. I'm...
I just wanted to give an update on my visit concerning the use of supplements and vitamins to benefit in fighting prostate cancer and managing some nasty side effects. I'm coming up on 1 3/4 years...
Don't know if this is the best place to post for this....But I'll give it a try. Anyone who does any research on oxolates knows they cause most stones and the list of foods keeps changing..... very...
We talked about diet. Somewhat.... I am prone to kidney stones so we talked about that issue. Other than eating a healthy diet she really didn't suggest anything. She said keep the sugar low, nothing...
Hi All I wanted to report back about my meeting with Jillian Capodice at Mt. Sinai Urology in NYC Well.....it seems there is a little here for both camps....the pro supplement and the no supplement...
I cannot believe how juvenile the arguing can be around here......we are dealing with a life threatening illness...not whether the first hard rock band was Led Zep or The Jeff Beck Group.(Jeff Beck...
thanks a lot Pratoman glad I posted this! Good to know. When we spoke on the phone she sure knew a lot about prostitis symptoms....as I said, "she knew more than several well reviewed urologists I've...
Mostly I was looking for relief from the prostititis symptoms which is also as confusing (Acute, Bacterial, Chronic, Chronic Bacterial) as the many aspects of prostate cancer. And I've taken...
I went to add this to my thread about the benefits or hazards of herbal supplements (saw palmetto) and nutrition. There seems to be a lot of debate and a warranted concern about taking herbal...
I have decided to visit the "integrated medicine" specialist at MSKK Dr. Shelly Latte-Naor, has anyone heard of her? There seems to be a really interesting "specialist" out of MT Sainai in NY Jillian...
that's good to know. There are some good things in these "formulas" but there are substances that post treatment would do more harm than good....or at least make tracking things confusing. Does...
Yes F8 my psa is trending downward. .43 as of last Feb. "ask your doctor" is often said. But in many if not most cases your doctor doesn't really know. There are doctors like yours that look at all...
I posted this question on the thread I started but I will post it here as well. Many include stinging nettle. I've also read in ads that Saw Palmetto isn't regulated and some are higher quality than...
That's great F8 I may try it. If ones PSA was really moving up I don't think the saw palmetto would keep it down much...but I do understand the importance of correct PSA monitoring. As far as the...
Almost 65 years old. I have had sharp radiation treatment 1 1/2 years ago for prostate cancer. So far the PSA looks good at 0.43 But I seem to have a case of chronic prostititis. Could have been...
Good to know Thanks!...
Well I had my last treatment yesterday. No gas (I've been vigilant with my diet) Didn't have enough water 3 of the four treatments. Had to stop and drink more water....them they have to film...
Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Although I have to say its comforting in the fact that I've read so so many people posting about their SBRT treatments coming off without a hitch. How they even...
Hi Everyone Having my last SHARP radiation treatment tomorrow. Its a short treatment but I've had a lot of painful side effects already. It is manageable however. One of the worst parts of the...
They say some have major pain some have none and everything in between....
You are lucky!...
That's pretty astonishing considering what the holistic and natural food universe says. Maybe the soybean and dairy alternative companies put the scare about dairy into many people trying to be...
I also want to let everybody know that I finally found someone on another forum that had what I referred to as the "Anal Catheter" its actually a rectal catheter and from what he said was not really...
Most of my treatments have been at around 3:00 Pm unless they are delayed which is almost always the case. But a 3:00 Treatment means you have to be there at 2 to empty your bladder and drink 8 oz of...
Dairy and Prostate Cancer? I have read forever that dairy is a known factor in prostate cancer and many other types as you know. I was speaking to the oncologist radiology nutritionist at MSKK who...
ED drugs to aid sexual function after radiation treatments. Nearing the end of SHARP or CYBERKNIFE treatments for prostate cancer. Just wondering how many of you have been prescribed low dose viagra...
Greetings All I am nearing the end of a 5 treatment plan of SHARP radiation therapy. Like SBRT or the Cyberknife. After the 2nd treatment I had already started having some very painful and difficult...
Well...I had the treatment and no gas issues. All the info helped. I really was vigilant about the diet...took the gasex later The enema really didn't agree with me and was nauseous...but I didn't...
I have one of those things in me already. They still won't do the procedure if you have gas in certain areas...it will mess things up!...
Thanks for all the replies...very helpful. I've used citracell in the past and while it didn't create gas it was not very effective. However in this case its a good choice. By the way...So everybody...
In trying to rationalize the extra hurdles I have to go through (enemas) I have found that many or most of the places using cybernife type procedures at this point in time are into that enema prep....
For what its worth I spoke with one of the doctors who explained to me the benefit of using the fleet enema....I know all of you that have had procedures without one and are doing fine and I wish you...
Thanks....yeah. I only drank vanilla seltzer with my vodka. But not now! I didn't even consider gas a SE from the RT. Since I had it on treatment #1 I don't think that was the case....Even though...
its SHARP like SBRT Since you only have 5 treatments I guess they really want a clear view. They used to not give the enema but as I said...these days most places use it for that type of hi powered...
Fruits that provide less than 2.5 grams of fiber per serving are considered low in fiber. Cantaloupe. Cantaloupe is lower in fiber than most varieties of fresh fruit, with 1.4 grams per cup of diced...
its in the protocol to take a teaspoon of fiber sup a day. I've taken that for years without this kind of issue. I appreciate the low fiber diet you listed and I'm well aware of what to eat. Just got...
I've gone to a low gas low fiber diet. I don't think that should cause gas. Its obviously meant to lessen gas. That is what they say to do when you have gas...right? Before I was on a high fiber diet...
Hello ALL This is for my prostate cancer but this aspect involves the gastro part of the preparation. I figured where better to get good info on this topic than this forum. I have started radiation...
Hello ALL I have started radiation therapy for my pc. At a major highly regarded hospital. The technology is cutting edge.....the Dr. is superb at looking at the big picture... But getting through it...
The protection from SpaceOar sounds viable... I wish there were more studies not done by the manufacture. I suspect this is one....
I didn't know you need to have a fleet enema before each radiation session. Those usually make my hemorrhoids really irritated and inflamed. will have to do the enema gently and efficiently as...
To Allen's point The marketing campaign is in full gear. Augmenix, the manufacturer of SpaceOar has multiple sites online pushing their product....videos on youtube.....many different sites showing...
