Choosing My Path in Prostate Cancer Treatment

My research showed that cancer loves acid and hates alkalinity. So I went on a vegan diet and cut out coffee and sugar. My cancer is very low grade, so I am on active surveillance. Of the three biopsies I have had (36 needles), only one needle came back positive and it’s in the inner lobe. Probably will have another biopsy in a couple of years. My doctor did not recommend any other treatment at this time.

Awesome, I believe that with that vegan diet, you will be ok. I forgot to mention that MRI said I had an L4 L5 Bulge in my lower back. I Google to see if it was connected to my prostate, yelp it was. So to keep this cancer from coming back all I need to do is see a chiropractor which medicare would not pay for that, but they will pay for an acupuncture so I'm going to do that and exercise my back to keep the nerves from jammy up stopping the blood flow. Praying for you and you pray for me. 🙏🏾🙏🏻❤️

Hi Gary! Share what herbs? My PSA is in the same neighborhood as yours after radiation treatment

Gary, in the end - what matters is what one (cancer patient) is comfortable with and willing to do or not do. Can't understand why any doctor would be disappointed about taking one option versus another. My team included a radiation oncologist and a urologist surgeon. Both were supportive of either decision I made. I chose radiation and that was that. As far as hormone therapy or not, I was fortunate that my numbers were just below having that treatment. However, I have a few friends who underwent hormone therapy and although not ideal specific to sideffects, all of them said it was successful keeping the cancer in remission. Diet, exercise, and supplements help me. Best wishes moving forward.

Pros T Prostate Support made by LifeSeasons THERAPEUTICS SUPPLEMENTS is good. Along with eating healthy no red meat cut back on sugar, check MRI to see if L4 L5 need adjustment to keep blood flow

Thanks Brother. Praying for you, as well! Hope the acupuncture works. Healed my gut!

I totally understand your decisions. I was diagnosed with aggressive prostate metabolism to a lymph. Don't have same options as you. My situation calms for more. On hormone therapy, radiation next. Everything going well according to plan plus. Prostate & lymph shrunk 65-70%. Radically changed diet. Resistance training is proven beneficial. But, Most Importantly keeping God #1 & understanding Jesus already paid the price (Isaiah 53)!

Well, I am 70 years old. My last PSA test was 17.23, and I went down from 19.17. I am going to do the hormone therapy and radiation. My next appointment at the cancer center on the 17th to tell them what treatment. Surgery, hell, not too sure. It's pros and cons
