Dale: Get as many opinions as you need befpofre you decide what you need to do. Unless your PSA is > 10 ng/ml you seem to have "low risk" prostate cancer that is very unlikley to need urgent treatment. Indeed, some would argue that your can be ma...

E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott replied to John Farrow's discussion '10 Myths about Prostate Cancer'
Myths 2 through 9 are entirely mythical. And Myth 1 is "relatively" mythical. Prostate cancer is, indeed the cause of nearly 30,000 deaths in America every year, and the commonest cause of cancer-related death in males. HOWEVER, it is worth beari...

Have you been diagnosed with prostate cancer?
No
What brings you to the New Prostate Cancer InfoLink social network?
I let Arnon Krongrad talk me back into doing this all again -- 14 years after I did it the first time!
Would you help us grow the network? Would you tell others about it?
In the immortal words of Veep "Wanna Be" and ex-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin ... "You betcha!" :O)
About Me:

Mike it looks like I will take over fro Lew Musgrove at the Las Vegas chapter of UsTOO. Lew is retiring after next weeks meeting and the selection committee is staring me down... The process even stepped up when Nick Vogelzang called me and told me he would provide me speakers if I needed any, but that he thought I should do it as well. So now you HAVE to come to Vegas and be a guest speaker...I will buy the Yorkshire Pudding...

Hi Mike, what truth ,if any ,to tests being done for BPH whereby "Botox" is injected into the Prostate" it is supposed to be very effective, ( but in what ?) And is it? Ray.

Mike,

Thanks for the comment. You are right in your conclusion. My status is really active surveillance. I exercise regularly and have altered my diet to exclude meats and milk. I eat more fruits and vegetables and take daily supplements designed to fight cancer. For the last year and a half, I have had a biospy every six months and my PSA tested every three moneys. There has been no significant change except the last biospy looked better than the first biospy.

Hey, Mike. We are going to link to your organization's website. Will you circulate the announcement of our conference to your members who may be interested?

Thanks. We also have health-messaged post cards to send you via snail mail IF you prefer that.

Our upcoming January 7-9, 2010 conference in West Palm Beach will have a talk by Sylvie Beljanski of Natural Source International. They produce an herb specifically for prostate cancer. Her father was the famous French scientist, M. Beljanski. The herbs are quite well researched, even a bit here in the US. Other speakers will offer useful information. Consider coming.

Thanks Mike,
The positive feedback is great especially the term joining the club. The truth is you get to join no matter if you like to or not once diagnoised. The cancer kind of gives a person a different outlook on life. Take care and thanksfor checking on me.

Mike, how do I find out more about the compassionate use trial?

I see Dr. Daniel George.
And it is an odd approach. The doctors in FL are not like Duke.
After the rise in my PSA I never went back to that doctor.

Hi again Mike,

Ok, so now at least I'v got ONE of the medical terms down :-) Thank you.

I thought that was what it ment by "not damaged", that it hasn't broke through the capsule?

It is surely written i Swedish but I will try to tell you what it says as soon as I get it from the hospital (as I tried to write to Dr. Krongard but can't see here if I really did I will ask them to send it to me). I am truly greatful for any help I can get.

My doctor in Sweden is now sending me to a couple more "x-rays" (?) trying to find out where the PSA comes from. I will try to get the proper names for those as well and will write you and Dr.Krongard as soon as I get any results. He has mentioned some kind of hormon treatment and said that he don't want to use the method who's stopping the body from producing testosteron but the one that keeps the tumor from getting hold of it. Something like that. And he was considering small (!) doses of radiation (I hope that's the proper word or that you at least can understund it) on the area where the prostate use to be (the bed?), just in case. He told me that small doses won't have any, or very small, side-effects. That's about everything I know so far.

Robert
