I fell recently and fractured my hip. Hairline, still in position, normally bone should heal in time and with weight bearing. The fracture was right through a met. And I don’t think it would have...
Actinium is very promising. Until recently it blew out your salivary glands but they have addressed that. I saw a “travel med” website that says it was FDA approved this year, but I think that’s...
Thanks One question: Do bone metastases attract blood vessels or only visceral Mets?...
Fisetin is a “flavonoid”, which is found in apples, strawberries, grapes onions . . . It does not require a prescription. Your body recycles cells all the time. It give instructions to target cells...
Better to start on Zytiga. Xtandi and Zytiga are cross resistant — it one poops out the other one doesn’t work. There have been a number of recent trials giving Bipolar Androgen Therapy(“BAT”) after...
OK. I get it and am not surprised. It may not involve $ but that doesn’t mean it’s free; time is precious. How about this? VIDEO 1: A 2-3 minute Youtube which introduces the Teacher and then me and I...
Greetings all. As you can see from my Signature I’ve taken full advantage of Western Medicine. I do think Eastern Medicine, developed empirically over thousands of years, has something to offer. I...
I had Provenge. A few hours after the third threatment I passed out at the dinner table and had a fever a bit over 102. I haven’t had a fever since I was a kid! I was in the hospital for 3 or 4 days...
A moving post. Who here is not devastated when they get a diagnosis of incurable terminal metastatic prostate cancer? I was. Nurturing your survival instincts and fighting the beast will buy you...
Dx 6 years ago Age 64 [BRCA2+] bone metastatic PC. Never thought I’d see this day. Had a really great party. Shortly after my Dx I made this “Save the Date” Card for my 75th B Day. That was 100% a...
The Cancer Bear is chasing us. We're running as fast as we can, but the Bear is faster. The medical community keeps coming out with new treatments - that slows the Bear, which takes it longer to...
Thanks. I’m going flat out, meaning I’m doing everything I can. “The Longer I Live The Longer I live” Seems obvious and banal, but what I mean is that Medical advances are coming fast and furious. If...
In one month I’ll be at the five year point. Advanced high volume Stage IV at diagnosis I’m lucky to be alive. And even luckier that I’m not going to die (at least not from PC) for at least several...
Thank you for you inspiring post. “Buck up and keep on keeping on”.. I love it. In one month I’ll be at the five year mark. As usual, I’m late; I was scheduled to be dead. Though I suffer treatment...
I had a thread running from through 2019 on BAT https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=35&m=4077120#gsc.tab=0 I started a new one a year ago...
MORE BAT AND THOUGHTS ON AVOIDING RESISTANCE In one month I'll be at five year point after Dx of Advance Stage IV PC. In June my PSA was 0.6 after intermittent application of Enza [PSA goes up -- go...
VinceinMT: I'm inspired by your vigilance (and results!). That is impressive self-discipline. Something to aspire to....
I agree...
To Mumbo: I agree that once you get to number like 5,000 and 7,000 these guys aren't necessarily any better than guys who did 2,000. My understanding though is that this is a very difficult thing to...
Halbert: If you're talking about using Eastern Medicine in place of Western I agree with you. I do however think that over thousands of years enough empirical knowledge was built up that using...
The other guy was Samadi. He claimed over 7,000 operations at that point. With number like 7,000 and 5,000 (Tewari) you would expect reasonably common sampling. BUT Samadi wouldn't do anyone who was...
Tewari did my surgery and it was a difficult one. At the time he had done over 5,000, probably more now. I had the surgery after chemo, which had apparently been very effective on my prostate (and...
Good to see you Halbert I don't get the "say what" I think herbal "remedies" should not be used in place of Western Medicine, but neither should they be ignored. Some of these have been developed...
Just want to give a heads up about some interesting reading I've been doing about Piperlongumine. It is what is believed to be the active component of piper longum , or long pepper. Grown in Tropical...
Results of TRANSFORMER Trial are out...
I’ve been on continuous Lupron for 4-1/2 years and I’m getting worried about cognitive effects. Two years ago I had bipolar androgen therapy (“BAT”)—400mg Testosterone every 28 days. I had four...
I am pleased to say that after 4-1/2 years I still have active Mets, but fewer than when I began treatment and a recent scan showed lower SUV Uptake than 1 done 2-1/2 years ago I have pursued an...
I don’t post that often. When I do it’s often a brain dump on current treatment techniques. Fairwind is a regular responder and I have had exchanges with him in the comments to many of my posts....
Lutiteum. Lu-177 has been available in other countries for several years. I looked into going to Heidelberg for the treatment a couple of years ago and, more recently, Israel [ShebaMedical Center]...
Please take a look at the balance of the thread and let me know if I was out of line. I do not pretend do be an oncologist, and expert or to know more than everyone else, but I think my...
To be perfectly honest, I did not see Leibowitz or Myers work. They were ahead of their time and on the right track IMHO. I'm aware of Eugene Kwon. I've been planning on trying to get a consult with...
Well, Djin and Bohemon: You were better prepared than I was at the start of the journey. I had studied science in college and followed biology and physics as a lay person for decades. As soon as I...
Thank you Bohemond. I will respond with a thoughtful reply when I get a few moments. As for "starchy" I don't get it -- I think we're speaking our minds but doing so in a polite respectful manner....
Respectfully (and I mean that) you have misunderstood me. Likely my rather terse writing style (I was a lawyer) has given that impression. 1. I am certain of nothing. It's a crap shoot and I'm...
Sorry, I meant to direct it to ASAdvocate. And remember . . . "If you come to a fork in the road, take it."...
Good one. I like it! Humor is good for your soul -- and your PC....
To logoslidat: To quote Dizzy Dean, the last National League pitcher to win 30 games in one season, "It ain't braggin if you can do it." I'm not bragging; just stating a fact. I'm not saying I'm the...
Follow on: Short term ED and incontinence not a big deal. If you don't want minimize incontinence period then start doing Kegel exercises before surgery -- it's what you need to do after to restore...
My vote: Get the RP but get the DaVinci robotic surgery. This requires a highly skilled surgeon; they say it takes 250 surgeries before they get in the groove. There are several people in NY City...
My General Views on Treatment 1. Dosing until failure is a flawed strategy contrary to principles of evolution which have shown considerable resilience as a mode of analysis to describe phenomena far...
I managed to get a GaPMSA scan in a Clinical trial. Had to go to UCLA to get it. These scans were finally approved for use in the US by the FDA in Dec. 2020, but I don't think they're generally...
Thanks. I have one oncologist who is the General: nothing happens without his knowing about it. Otherwise there are several other oncologists who sometimes recommend or are willing to do things (like...
Anyone have any info on ENVITA in Scottsdale, AZ? They talk a good game...
Thanks for the information, I didn't know about this Article. As for gasoline on fire that was the comment of one ONC that was part of a reply to one of my posts on Androgen Deprivation therapy. Very...
When I was first diagnosed I thought Standard Medical Practice of dosing until failure was contrary to principles of Evolution. I reasoned that the cancer always adapts to it's current environment....
Go Bucks: How do I get your e mail address? Happy to forward invite to you as requested...
Thanks. I hadn't realized I posted twice. On the PEMF, like many adjunctive therapies, it's difficult to tease out whether it had a positive effect. I wasn't thinking of acutally killing cancer...
Help me out. I don't get the jokes. [I rewalie that, in itself, may be the subject of a future joke]. "Bump for giggles and grins" ?? "ya cant make this stuff up....it lives...it lives maybe the...
