I’m laughing at that, surfer, because reading about all those molecular processes and which enzymes donate x amount of electrons in one instance, but not in others if a mutase in an acidic milieu is involved, is what made me finally throw up my hands and cry “Uncle”!!
This cancer - like all of them - is like something from a sci-fi movie that you can’t kill, won’t die and adapts to anything you throw at it.
ATOMS are involved in its pathogenesis and teams of brilliant PhD’s can only scratch the surface on trying to figure out what makes it tick.
And even IF the biochemistry is understood, it doesn’t mean that the cancer cells will respond in a predictable way. It becomes like shooting craps in an alley, wearing a starched white lab coat…Best,
Phil

Yes - IF I learned anything after gulping up about 500 PC scientific articles like Pacman "on speed" it is that this whole production is just pure madness *sigh. There are so many variables to consider AND on top of that it all depends of ones individual ability to fight this thing and probably depends of "natal chart" too XP.
BUT, there are people who heal and are even cured, they are just not here on this forum since they would rather not be, and who can blame them.
However, correct staging and gleason are important and without actually examining prostate tissue true gleason is not known. Without actually looking into margins and without testing lymph-nodes it is hard to know if spread is actually there or not. I also think that removing mother-load could be beneficial especially when aggressive cancer is detected. It is all done to improve treatment choice an the odds, odds of surviving longer.
But again - I am sure there are people who have no relapse , there always are for any cancer or any disease ; ). I mentioned it once and I will mentioned it again for the sake of hope, I know of person that had spontaneous remission of another cancer that is considered "chronic" and without any treatment. Our body can malfunction but it can also heal and what else is left but hope to heal ; ) !? So cheers to healing < 3
