Are You Ready ? ! Okay, here we go..... So, I am trying to do my due diligence, and Not Just Settle or "Go with the Flow" regarding today's Medical Treatments and Therapies available for Prostate Cancer Treatments... However, I am Very Grateful for what is available, otherwise I Definitely Would Not Have Been Able to Write This ! I am very open and very interested in learning about the possibilities of other effective and proven methods that are available Out There, Anywhere, for someone diagnosed with Stage 4 Prostate Cancer that has metastasized to some Bone and Lymph Nodes ? I am sure it probably depends on a lot of factors, but I am just trying to obtain some good, basic information to research... ... In December of 2024, it was me who was presented with this unfortunate scenario that I just described... My name is Frederick G... Basically, I have been extremely Blessed with very good health throughout my entire lifetime up until this happened… What prompted me to go to the Emergency Room on that Friday at noon on December 20th, 2024 of the hospital that I was actually born at in 1963, was that I had not been feeling well and started to notice some traces of Blood in my Urine (I apologize for the graphics, but it is what it is) which came and went away. Then it started again, and gradually it became Thick Blood and then Thicker Blood… Also, I was having issues with my Left Leg Swelling and becoming Quite Painful. To make a long story-short, for the next 11 Hours in the ER, in which much Blood-Work and different Imaging took place, I was Admitted to the Hospital, transferred to a room, and a Catheter was inserted in me. The very next morning, it was explained to me that I needed immediate surgery on my Left Leg. It was determined that my Left Leg had DVT (Deep-Vein-Thrombosis) After Surgery, the Blood Clots were Biopsied. Between that and many other Imaging, and Lots of Blood-Work, etc., it was later determined for sure on December 30th, that I had Stage 4 Prostate Cancer which metastasized... Initially, my PSA Level was 2337... Moving forward, after being treated, initially with Bicalutamide for some time, then to Lupron Injections on 3-month intervals, along with 1000 Mg of Abiraterone taken orally each Day, which is still my regiment to this day... Gradually my PSA Level diminished to 95 as of November 3rd, 2025, and I have been Catheter-Free since mid June of 2025... I apologize for the long explanation, however, I thought this information would possibly be helpful for someone out there that could possibly help me and help others... I'm completely open, so please anyone out there that can offer any legitimate advice, I would love to receive some input... Thank You Very Much For Your Consideration, It Is Greatly Appreciated ! - God Bless Each and Every One of You 🙏🕊️ And GodSpeed To ALL Cancer Patients ! Let's work together to put an End to this ! AMEN 🙏 🕊️ ❤️ -Freddie G

Thank you for sharing your journey so openly and for your positive spirit despite facing such challenging circumstances. Stage 4 prostate cancer with bone and lymph node involvement typically involves treatments like hormone therapy (which you're already receiving), chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and newer targeted therapies, with the specific approach depending on individual factors like overall health and how the cancer responds to treatment. Your current treatment regimen appears to be working well based on the PSA reduction you've described, and it's encouraging to hear about your progress. Many community members here have valuable experiences and insights to share about treatment options, so hopefully others will chime in with their perspectives and knowledge to help with your research.

I completely agree with this response - it's great that your PSA has dropped so significantly, and you might also want to ask your oncologist about clinical trials in your area since there are always new treatments being studied for advanced prostate cancer.

Thank You for your input Mr. John Brooks, it is Greatly Appreciated ! Clinical-Trials, I actually thought about that recently. I'll have to check it out. Maybe there are some in my area. Thanks again and God Bless 🙏

Also, I was wondering if there is anyone who tried "Ivermectin" combined with other parasitic meds?

I also have stage four prostate cancer that spread to the bones and lymph nodes. One thing that really helps me is the infrared light for the bones and a massage for the lymph nodes.

Thank You Dionicio AND Dominic for reaching out and responding to me, it is Greatly Appreciated... Now, that gives me another couple avenues to explore ! It can get very confusing and I get overwhelmed with searching, and searching and searching... Especially in this day and age with a lot of misinformation out there... Again, thank you both ! And Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to you and your families. God Bless and Peace Be With You 🙏 🕊️ Sincerely, Frederick G
