Hi,
Prostate Cancer is the best kind of cancer to have if you have to have
cancer.
Normally, it is slow developing. I do not know that anyone really knows the
cause.
My doctor told me that some men will have it by 40. As the age group
increases the percentage of men with PCa in each group also increases. He
said that by the time a man is 85 he would gurantee that he had it.
Many, if not most, men die with it and never know it.
If caught early, it is one of the easiest to fight with standard methods.
Once it is advanced, it is considered incurable. Mine was advanced before
it was diagnosed. My brother had a situation even more advanced at
diagnosis.
It is very complicated problem. There are at least 30 different strains,
all of which react differently to any treatment approach.
Most are slow developing; a few are very aggressive. With advanced PCa the
main standard treatment is Hormone therapy. This prevents the production of
Testosterone which does not cause PCa but once it is there it is like
throwing gasoline on a fire.
This works for a while but is not a cure. Some strains are not affected by
a lack of Testosterone.
I am close to 11 years now since diagnosis. The use of Flaxseed oil, and
now Beta Glucan and high vitamin C plus the rebounder are now the main
weapons I am using, plus anti oxidants and other things recommended by
Moonbeam on another list.
I seem to be in no danger. I am awaiting a PSA result with some trepidition
and rising heart beat. Ha! Except it isn't funny.
One man I met on the PCa lists fought PCa with advanced bone involvement for
over 15 years with every new chemo or idea that he could find. He used Flax
Oil for awhile and it seemed to help but he did not stay with it.
I don't know if he is still living, but I doubt it. If he is it is the very
last stages.
