“ I wonder how many men on AS, when told that their sudden jump in PSA and newly biopsied tissue reveals aggressive disease, simply say, oh man, I better get out there and increase my endurance training”
Of course your question is a hypothetical…and only happens rarely in the case of GG1 men (per Dr Lawrence Klotz), but I think the answer to your hypothetical question may still be “hundreds, if not more”…
Chris Wark has hundreds of stories of what the medical world technically calls “spontaneous remission”…because from their POV they have no way to explain such outcomes.

Spontaneous remission…sounds almost miraculous but I guess anything’s possible; but I opted for the more probable when I saw my biopsy results.
Unfortunately, even though I had had prostate issues, my urologist moved and I fell thru the cracks for AS.
Seeing all the 4+3 cores at 70 and 80% and perineural invasion in almost every slide, I did not think any lifestyle changes were going to further my cause. I was already aerobically exercising frequently, taking vitamin D, Meriva (turmeric) and DIM for hormone balance, and boiling organic ginger root to make a concentrated tea.
Talk about a freakin fanatic??
But I do sometimes wonder if doing all that - useless as it seems now - actually might have kept my cancer from getting worse. I guess I’ll never know but I am VERY happy I opted for conventional treatment, nasty as it might be…Best,
Phil
