Diet - Eggs or no eggs?

A recent study found that eating even one egg a month was too much. For a long time, I ate two eggs every day and my PSA stayed low, In fact, it hit undetectable one month, even though I was doing it.

Since then, I’ve cut back and I’m only eating two eggs a week. My PSA has been undetectable for 14 months, after 15 years of prostate cancer and four relapses.

I was really disappointed when that study showed that eggs were so bad for prostate cancer. I think if you do some Google searches, you will find the study.

Sometimes doctors forget to tell their prostate cancer patients that they need to take calcium citrate, 500 mg, twice a day. For me, that’s not even enough. You also should be on vitamin D. Super B complex is another thing my cancer pharmacist has told me I should take.

Hi Jeff,
I was casually looking up how many eggs a week! I like eggs. Then I stumbled onto the research that eggs are not good for prostate cancer patients. However, if 2 eggs a week is OK for you then I'll take that.
I would add that, along with many others, I did not receive any advice concerning diet related to ADT therapy. Thankfully, I received very useful advice on this forum.
