Anyone have Prostate Cancer Stage 4 with good results?

My opinion is base on my personal 10 years of battling prostate cancer. Stick with hard and true scientific healthcare. Cancer research has been around for 300 years and the medical and science community have a lot of information, options and new discoveries to offer. Time is of the essence. If you want to pray, that's fine. But cancer has no religious affiliation or boundaries and, quite frankly, doesn't care if you do either. Get on with what you can do to postpone or beat this ugly disease.

I don't think they're mutually exclusive.
For example, I eat well, stay active, get out of the house often, play music, garden, walk my grandpuppy, and maintain social contact: I don't expect any of those to replace my medical treatment, but they can be a great supplement, because a positive mood and lower stress strengthen my body's ability to tolerate my meds and fight the disease. For many people, religion does the same. That's not necessarily because a magical being is curing them (I'm not answering that question either way), but if it's a source of comfort, then go for it!
Or, to phrase it differently for people of faith, if your diety choses to answer your prayers by making modern medicine available to you, then it makes sense to embrace it. And if your faith and congregation are a source of support and comfort to you, then embrace them, too.
