Choosing Active Surveillance over any further treatment at this time

I have heard that a restrictive diet can have noticeable effects on PC. I’ve heard of one other report of similar results to yours, where the cancer subsided.

The thing is, you had a high number of cores with cancer. That implies you are likely to have something that needs to be treated in the next five years, if you do AS.

Hopefully what you are doing will make it way past that timeframe.

Thanks jeffMar!

You are exactly right!

My urologist indicated the same thing about the probability of potential need for treatment in 5 years, although he said I was conducting what he calls “aggressive AS” and that certainly pushes the odds out in my favor

I been blessed enough to be able to do a lot of aerobic running (20km/week now); without ever enduring injury….however I worked my way up to this level over 2.5 years and I always run on a rubberized track with super cushion Hoka Bondi 8’s….everything to minimize joint issues….also helps that I’m in a runners support group, which I started.

I’ve studied the aerobic exercise vs diet research quite thoroughly, as it relates to slowing PCa, and it’s pretty clear that exercise trumps diet when it comes to scientifically designed trials.

Don’t get me wrong, diet is important; but thinking one is going to make significant progress by simply changing diet and adding supplements, without implementing vigorous exercise, is IMHO scientifically unwarranted.
