Hi muspotter1956,
Just was reading through some older posts and wondered how you were doing? Did you get into the clinical trial you mentioned and, if so, which arm were you assigned to?
Like you, I opted to move my diet away from red meat, highly processed foods, dairy, saturated fats and eggs. How are you doing with the diet changes? I have adapted to the point that I truly prefer my current foods to those that I left behind. As far as giving up eggs goes, people always say you don't have to because... Perhaps that is true, they might not cause prostate cancer, but at their recent prices, I will be able to pay the cash price for Orgovyx, should I ever need it, with the money I have saved eating a nicely seasoned Southwest Tofu and Veggie Scramble each morning it their place. The white tofu is turned the color of eggs with some turmeric and the scramble has 2 cups of seasoned sauteed fresh veggies ( mushrooms, green and red peppers, onions, carrots, celery and broccoli) seasoned with chili, onion and garlic powder, oregano, black pepper and chipoltle pepper. This way I get a good start on my intake of veggies for the day and the pound of tofu actually helped me INCREASE my already good bone density during the two years I was on Lupron + abiraterone.
I hope you are doing well and look forward to some updates from you as you move ahead with life, if you are up for it.
Bill

Yes, generative AI just parrots what it finds online using a massive system of word association. It can be helpful when used with care and a big dose of healthy scepticism, but there's no actual reasoning behind it. Change one word and it might reverse its answer.
