Thanks for the suggestions. Actually, I've tried seeds, and they don't work. Probably because they are pumpkin seeds.

Ironically, I started eating pumpkin seeds years ago, and I remember reading that they can help "prevent" prostate cancer.

Oh well.

My urologist says that cyberknife is not an option for me because of Gleason 9. ??

I do have the luxury of taking my time and looking at various options. Compared to many others here, I seem to tolerate ADT fairly well. And hopefully I won't need to go shopping for a bra soon.

I m putting white button mushrooms in my hot tea daily- 500 mg- powder form. My ADT ends next month after two years. I see if it’s working then. Age 76. Gleason 9/10

Well I think you have to move on from your Urologist to a Radiation Oncologist and more than one of them.
Urologists can’t really offer you much at this point except surgery, which is probably very risky unless done by someone who does resection post radiation all the time.
From other men I’ve spoken with - and my own experience - find a young RO! They are not prejudiced by outdated studies and business as usual - they are up on the newest techniques made possible by advanced digital software and machines far better than even a few years ago. Best
