Cancer Free: I Beat Prostate Cancer; Mish the Guinea Pig

- Mish - Global Economic Analysis

A million thanks for your very personal and in depth article on prostate cancer. You have done a great and wonderful service for all your readers. May God
bless you for your efforts for all our benefit. I too have prostate cancer. I went through exactly the same diagnostic process as you did. In my case my PSA
was 63. How did it get that high with no information before that? I did not have a PSA test for ten years. The reason was that my wife was diagnosed with colon cancer and we fought that for over five years when in the end she died laying next to me in bed. The only comfort I have is that I know the last thing she heard
on this earth was me telling her I loved her. But after the literally hundreds of trips to different doctors, clinics and hospitals for surgeries I could not stand the
sight of another doctor or hospital. Then during my grieving period I did not care if I lived or died and getting a PSA test was the farthest thing from my mind. When
you are a cancer patient care giver 24//7, the last thing on your mind is to tend to your own needs, especially when you know that the situation is going terminal.
But then a little more than five years after the death of my wife, my loving girlfriend encouraged me to get a blood test and so too did my neurosciences doctor.
I did and found out I had prostate cancer. Unlike your situation, my Gleason score was 8. The twelve biopsy tests showed nine benign, one at 2%, one at 88% and one also at 2%. Also the pathologist said I had a more aggressive form of the cancer and that put me into the high risk category.

I too was given alternatives. My urologist was NOT in favor of surgery as he said the best alternative for me was implanting radioactive cesium 131 seeds into
my prostate to create a radiation cloud calculated to be strong enough to kill the cancer cells which are of a type that is sensitive to radiation and not damage
the normal prostate cells. He said that there are too many risks with removing the prostate and there are other less invasive therapies that produce as good or better results which he recommended to me. The half life of cesium 131 is about 20 days and the only downside to this was that I could not hold my grandson in my lap. They implant the seeds in the same manner they do the biopsy. But before this I went through a program of hormone therapy. It was designed to take my testosterone levels to zero. This would by itself shrink the tumor size by two thirds. It would not kill the cancer cells however. Then they implanted surgically implanted the (in my case) 37 seeds into the prostate. This is where I am now as I write this to you. Next month, I will have 28 ten minute sessions of external beam radiation treatments to complete the treatment series. One treatment five days a week till finished.

After that, I will continue with the hormone therapy and watchful waiting for another year and one half. My urologist say that I will now have a 95%
chance of no reoccurrence for the next 15 years. But he also told me that his expectation is for a complete cure. I plan to ask my urologist about the supplement
program you are on and see what he says. I suspect he will be cool to the idea but then the oncologists in Huston are top notch and I trust their findings.

Again, thank you for your great article. You have helped many men deal with this disease in a more beneficial way.
May God bless you and your family.

Début de l'article :In October 2012 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I am now cancer free. Here is my story, a detailed one, with test results. I have been taking PSA tests every couple years since 2007. It's a routine blood test recommended for men as they get older. PSA stands for Prostate Specific Antigen. Elevated readings may indicate evidence of prostate cancer. Any reading under 3.0 is normal but some doctors may say 4.0 and others 2.5. It's not an exact science to be sure. My test in August of 2012... Lire la suite
