Well, for the first 10 years of PC, I didn’t do anything about my diet. I started abiraterone 5 years ago and still didn’t change my normal diet, and my PSA was only undetectable once in 2.5 years. Then I attended a few seminars about how important diet was with prostate cancer. I also switched to Darolutamide.

I have now cut out almost all red meat, and reduced the amount of sugar and carbs I eat. My wife, however, is a great cook and loves to bake cakes and cookies. I will eat one small piece of those sweets (6-8 small bites) every night, Along with a bunch of strawberries. We have a freezer full of four different types of cakes, two different types of cookies and the only time I eat them is once a night. I also eat a huge salad every day for lunch, big enough for a family of four at dinner. I also used to have a beer or wine at dinner and a margarita when I came home from work. I went on blood thinners, and that limit you to one drink a day. Now I drink a beer or a glass of wine maybe once every three or four days at the most.

Does it work? No one can say for sure but my PSA has now stayed undetectable for 16 months. My last two A1c tests have been 5.4, I get that test every three months. My A1c test definitely shows eating just a little doesn’t hurt my blood sugar.

I have heard from at least one person that had a pretty serious case of PC and he went vegetarian. From that point on his PC didn’t get worse, And actually improved.
