3 Month Checkup - PSA score dropped


 

Hello to all,

I'm still fighting prostate cancer with bone
mets... been on the BP diet a little more than 2
months and just had my 3 month checkup. My PSA dropped
from 1.4 to .5 and I couldn't be more pleased.

Cynthia,

Just yesterday there were 2 positive experiences posted of people overcoming
cancer through the Budwig Protocol. People who we have watched progress in
months, so it is real.

Just read through the testimonials again and then make a reinforced and
informed decision. I do that every now and again to get myself back on track.

Ed:

That's FANTASTIC! -- And great news for me and for my husband personally as he is fighting the same disease.

Are you on hormones, at all? How long have you be diagnosed with PC? Your PSA seems very low for you to have bone mets so I am wondering if you have had any treatments at all prior to the BP.

My husband was diagnosed with PC in 2000 with a Gleason score of 8 and no visible mets. He had the Radical Prostectomy in July 2000 after which his level dropped to 0.9 ng/ml. He started the hormone treatment in October or November 2000 and was on them intermittently until June 2006 (at which time they began to fail). When he was on hormones his PSA went down to negligible levels (<0.1). He stopped the hormones and his PSA has now risen to 15 ng/ml as of two weeks ago. He began the FO/CC about the 2nd week in March 2007 but at the same time his oncologist was trying secondary hormone therapy in the form of Ketoconazole/Hydrocortisone that kept his PSA from going up for one month before it failed as well. As of two weeks ago he has stopped all meds. He has gradually been incorporating the various aspects of the BP into his daily diet.

Essentially, his cancer has been considered aggressive as his PSA seemed to double every 3 months in the past when not on the hormones. The Keto/Hyrdo slowed it down, but now we are relying on BP alone. His oncologist wants him to consent to chemo, but he says he will refuse and give the BP a chance to work as long as he has no real symptoms. We go for another appointment today at 1:00pm to see the results of yet another CT scan of his pelvis, abdomen and chest show any worsening of what they saw this past February (which was a suspicious "spot" on one lung).

Any insight into your specific case would be more than appreciated.

He needs some encouragement-- although he has been a real trooper throughout.

Thanks in advance for sharing.

Cynthia
