I started Metformin a while before prostate cancer diagnosis.I had 45 radiation sessions and 2.5 years of 3 month Lupron. PSDA stayed low for about 8 years then stared to rise slowly. Still take Metformin daily. PSA doubling time is about 17 months. Having new PSA and bloodwork test done next week.

So the take-away is that it is not the wonder drug we all think it is?
