Before I start (sorry for the length of this post) I want to say that you are a real trooper and your husband has a jewel of a supportive wife.
My comments from here on are directed to him…
Your wife’s posts seem to indicate your level of fear, anger and denial are at the top of the pile. We understand…
I’d venture a guess that virtually all men, deal (at some level) with this debilitating emotional triumvirate, after we are initially diagnosed with PCa; especially if we have no accompanying symptoms.
Ultimately, the question reduces to either sinking into self-pity and resignation or deciding to take action (hopefully massive).
Your wife asked whether there is a “natural cure” for PCa. That’s something of a loaded question, but I can absolutely assert that NO CURE (natural or otherwise) is possible without a first step:
“TAKE OWNERSHIP OF YOUR OWN HEALTH”
As much as your wife may want to help you, your the one who needs to take ownership of your diagnosis and take action.
I am an advocate for Active Surveillance (AS) for those who have the qualifying clinical and genomic indicators (see my profile); but I also recognize the benefit of traditional treatments by competent, experienced medical professionals when those indicators demonstrate AS is no longer a reasonable choice…based on the data.
As a first step of “health ownership” why not write and post your clinical and genomic indicators to this blog. If you can’t even do this first step, it’s clear you are not yet ready to consider “cures” (natural or otherwise). You must first decide whether you want to live…or not.
“Stage 3 PCa” is not very descriptive and the details seriously matter; when it comes to determining the best treatment options (natural or not).
BTW: My “natural AS program” involves a great deal of ongoing action on my part…my wife assists, but she cannot implement.
I have read books about folks who have taken “massive natural action” in an attempt to cure their cancer…some successfully.
As much “natural action” as I have taken (running three 5k’s per week (9min/mi) and dropping my BMI from 27 to 22 in three months), I can’t commit to the level of action some of these folks have implemented.
Quality of Life matters, even for those willing to take massive “natural action”.
There is no “natural cure”; otherwise men would not be spending $10 billion a year on their treatments.
But the statistical outcomes of those who take action (natural or otherwise) is significantly better than those who decide on self pity and resignation.
PCa is formidable, but nowhere near overwhelming and every man who posts on this blog is more than willing to share in your struggles.
All the best and I look forward to seeing you show up in “battle best”.
