Thanks all. I take all the help available to put a dent and slow down PCa.
Am I cured? No way. Am I cancer free today? Yes. However, tomorrow is
another day.
Yes, east of the Pecos, west of the Sabine, south of the Red, and north of
the Rio Grande....
I am not aware of anything being published except for the early results.
"Nineteen men have been enrolled with a median age of 63 (48-76). Fifty
percent of the men had no prior local therapy, while the other 50% either
failed surgery, radiation therapy, or surgery plus radiation therapy.
Fifty-nine percent of the men had Gleason 7, 12%/8, 24%/9, and 5%/10.
Thirty-five patients presented with bone metastasis and 50% presented with
nodal involvement. The median PSA reduction to date has been 95.6%."
I was 57 when I entered the trial with a previous Gleason 7, Brachytheraphy
and XMRT as primary treatment and then bone metastasis one year later.
However, put a pencil to the population and then add 4 years to the median.
The only thing apparent to me is that I got aggressive real early on and did
not wait for the cancer to spread any further and gain a stronger foothold.
A couple of points that I would like to make is first that everyone came to
the table with varying degree of disease, mental attitude, and body
strength. Second, I am aware that some did not follow the regime as designed
and would omit oral chemo medications during the trial because they could
not deal with the SE's.
All I know is that I turned complete control of my life over to a man who
has made a career researching and seeking a cure for kidney and prostate
cancer. And that, my friends, is, in my opinion, the key.
