My husband had an aximum scan done after surgery and SRT failed and he had a rising PSA. The aximum scan showed cancer in two places as interpreted by his RO, and cancer in one place as interpreted...
Gary Deng MD at MSKCC is head of the integrative medicine department at MSKCC. My husband saw him and he treats many prostate cancer patients. I was with my husband at all visits with Dr. Deng. I was...
Wilderness, I emailed you a copy of the diet. Cashless, My husband does a stricter version of the diet that he was given. He eats no red meat, very limited dairy (a splash of organic milk in his...
My husband did a modified version of your diet and it worked for a while to slow down the doubling time of his PSA. However, his PSA doubling time became more aggressive and the cancer was found on...
I don't know if this answers your question but my husband has been told by both his RO and his MO at MSKCC that that rate of rise of PSA at very low levels is not meaningful. My husband had SRT at a...
Thanks for the update. I have been following your journey with interest....
When my husband had SRT Dr. Zelefsky told him that the only way he could do the planning for his SRT and be in charge of it was if he got the treatments at MSK in NYC. Dr. Zelefsy said that if my...
cashless, If you email me I will give you the exact diet my husband was given. It is quite lengthy and I don't want to hijack this thread with dietary advice. In practice, I have modified the diet by...
At my insistence, my husband has been doing a modified version of the diet that cashless follows. I am comparing his PSA, which is taken every 3 months, to what he eats. The diet that my husband...
Thanks for the explanation cashless. Do you follow this no liquids with meals for all of your meals or just for breakfast? If just for breakfast, is it because it is the first meal of the day or...
cashless, What is the reason why you don't have any liquids 30 minutes before and 75 minutes after you eat oatmeal in the morning? Do you drink coffee? My husband has one cup of coffee with his...
Cashless, What type of soy foods do you eat? I would like to add some soy to my husband's diet so was wondering in what form you eat soy. Thanks....
If there is a healthy substance I think my husband should be taking I look for it in foods. He does not take any supplements but we follow an anti-cancer type of diet given to us by a doctor at...
Cashless, Do you think that eating the majority of your vegetables raw makes a difference in slowing down the progression of your cancer? I have read about the theory that cooking destroys enzymes in...
Michael Zelefsky, MSKCC...
When we got the pathology report after my husband's surgery it showed that my husband had ECE. When I asked the surgeon where in the prostate the ECE was located his answer was "it doesn't matter"....
My husband has been following what I consider an "anti-cancer diet" given to him by a physician at MSKCC. He is not on this diet due to his own inclination but because I insisted on it. The diet is...
I suspect that Zelefsky will want to do his own PSA test. MSKCC only trusts their own test results. The protocol has been (when my husband had SRT) to do an MRI to try to find the cancer before...
Water, My husband uses trimix. From the female side of it, sex with a man using trimix is no different than with a man who doesn't use it, outside of the mechanics of him having to inject. There is...
My husband is a patient (he sees a medical oncologist) at MSKCC. I believe that it is the best place to be treated for advanced prostate cancer in the NY area....
I am reading the book....
My husband had inguinal hernia repair surgery done after RP. He was told by NYC docs - Memorial Sloan Kettering, Cornell, Mount Sinai - that he had to have open surgery. He had open surgery done at...
Thanks for the update cashless. I have been following your experiment with diet with interest. I am happy to read that you have been successful in slowing your PSA growth. My husband's MO at MSKCC...
Pratoman, congratulations on your daughter's engagement. My daughter got engaged two weeks ago....
Allen has been very generous with his time and invaluable advice when I reached out to him via email....
I have also been wondering which are the best scans. My husband's RO suggested locating and having a PSMA scan, as my husband failed SRT. However his PSA is on the low side for any scan to find...
Hi NewspaperLover, This is Bluebird's usually reticent husband. I agree that our numbers and our trajectory are similar, if not precisely the same. I think it might be interesting if we could...
Although I check in with HW on occasion, I have not really posted anything in about a year. My husband had a recurrence of his cancer a year ago, 2 1/2 years after his prostatectomy. He had SRT,...
cashlessclay, What diet do you follow? What do you eat for breakfast?...
I hope that the treatment is successful and things get better for you....
My husband is having his hernia repaired later this month. He consulted with 3 surgeons - one at MSKCC, one at Mount Sinai in NYC, and one at Weill Cornell in NYC. They all advised against...
My husband developed peyronies about a year after his surgery, but it happened quickly. Dr. Mulhall told us that it is often the result of an injury, which is an event that is a point in time, not a...
My husband is a patient of Dr. Mulhall. Dr. Mulhall treats men with ED, peyronies, and other sexual dysfunctions. Your statement that Dr. Mulhall will not see your husband without a diagnosis of...
per Dr. Mulhall: Erection Scale: 0 to 10 0 - No Erection 1 2 3 4 5 6 - Erection just firm enough for penetration 7 8 9 10 - 100% response I was with my husband when he was instructed on injection...
If you want a knowledgeable and definitive answer I suggest that you consult with John Mulhall at MSKCC. He is the authority on what you need to do. I do not think that any uro has the knowledge and...
Interesting post Cashless. Thanks for sharing....
While there may be some limited situations where debulking a tumor (by surgery) has value, in general surgery is a worthwhile and effective treatment when the cancer is thought to be contained. If...
My husband had terrible frequency for a few months after his surgery. It went away....
I find it hard to believe that the patients of a doctor who provides treatment for prostate cancer seldom bring up the topic of erectile function after treatment and don't seem to be very concerned...
Unfortunately, PCa and the side effects of treatment take a bite out of many marriages. While my husband has never been abusive, he withdrew in ways and communicating with him about sensitive issues...
My husband says that he is fully (99%) continent. No drips. Maybe a rare drip with a sneeze. The only time he has complained about leaking is if he is sick and coughing a lot, however, that does not...

Congratulations! Glad to hear the great news....
Prato, a number of the ingredients in one of the supplements that Dr. Katz had you take (Inflammatone) are similar to the ingredients in Zyflamend, the supplement that my husband takes on the advice...
I make my husband vegetable juices in a juicer and sometimes get nervous that they are an unnatural form of concentrated nutrients, but they are still a food. I aim for one glass of juice a day but...
I also spent quite a few painful years while misdiagnosed by physicians. I cannot just "leave it to the doctors" so I understand exactly where you are coming from. I don't have any advice but I hope...
Sophie, Thanks for the smoothie master recipe. I will use it. I agree that blending is probably healthier than juicing because it retains the fiber. I have had a juicer for many years and just...
Sophie, I ordered Kris Carr's book. Thanks for the tip. The recipes that I was going to email you are from Snuffy's book. Everything that I have made from his cookbook has turned out great. They do...
Sophie, I find that vegan cooking is very time consuming if you want the food to taste good. My husband is a fussy eater and I cannot just serve him lentil mush. I spend hours trolling for recipes...
Sophie, Walter Willet writes in regard to making firm veggie burgers: "The secret to making burgers that don't crumble is twofold. First, you'll need to chill the vegetable mixture so it will hold...
