- Oh. I've heard of it. Never seen it though. I'm a PBS radio guy in the car. TV is for sport and sleeping in front of when I have forgotten to get any the night before. Luckily I only seem to need about 5 hours in each 24.

Victor said… - DR. Espinosa at Columbia Medical Center has been fantastic, and the plan that he has me on which includes supplements plus eating the right food, plus just getting the right attitude on life, is work in process and so far so good.
The initial consultation was $500.00 and then I just follow up with him by phone every 90 days with a current PSA.
The supplements that he recommends cost anywhere from $400 to $550 a month, it just depends on how much time you spend surfing the internet for what he recommends and getting the best deal on the exact supplement.

There are no real 'gathering places' for men who choose AS as their option. There are some interesting stories and views on my one website at http://www.yananow.net/Experiences.html#as
I also started setting up an AS website - you can see some of it at http://www.prostatecancerwatchfulwaiting.co.za/
I must admit to the fact that after 10 years trying to raise the awareness of the importance of not rushing into treatment I am getting a little weary. The opposiiton is slowly being worn awsay, but I sometimes feel it is me against the world!
By all means mail me yananow@optusnet.com.au with anything specific i might be able to help you with - and i will try to respond to some of the posts on the AS section here, but.......
I started putting together a

Steve Z said… - Thanks for the info on ultrasound. I'm on an active surveillance program and joined these groups for some encouragement.
I see you are looking for alternative therapies - I would assume to PR. So far CRYO and HIFU seem interesting, CRYO more so because focal treatment is possible. You might want to seehttp://www.hopeforprostatecancer.com.
