Supplements: Completed proton radiation therapy in mid 2010 at Loma Linda Children's Hospital..now the name has been changed. Loma Linda was one of the pioneers of proton radiation therapy for children with brain cancer.
It has been 15 years since completion and a couple of years ago my PSA began to rise. As most know, PSA increases can mean many things; but, moreover, with age, PSA "naturally" increases.
With 15 years of research, reading, and other activities, one becomes relatively "informed" about this disease. Along the way, I found an article or two that recommended LYCOPENE, which states on the label: "supports prostate & heart health." It is sold on Amazon by Puritans Pride (but there are others). Do your research or ask your physician. Does it work? Changes in PSA or velocity are indicators of the growth of the disease. My PSA was beginning to rise after 15 years. For the year I have taken this supplement, not much change, Always do your own research. Eat healthy, maintain an exercise plan and know as much as possible about this disease which affect one out of seven men in America. Cheers/RH-Florida
@westernflyer
Was on Lycopene for heart health so good to know helps prostate also. I totally agree with your suggestions of; eat healthy, maintain an exercise plan. I would add hobbies that can reduce stress and anxiety.
Regarding you mentioning Puritan Pride. You can go on their web site and get some great deals. Right now they are offering buy 1 get 2 free or buy 2 get 4 free. I have been using PP since 1990s. I also use Life Extension, Qunol, which have some great values if you become members.
As you mentioned should always coordinate with your doctors before taking supplements.
