Hello, I'm new here but not new to prostate cancer. I was treated at Northside Hospital in Atlanta. MRimage high dosage, 5 treatments. My Gleason scores were, out of 20, 6 samples 3/4 and 1 at 4/3 with no metastization. I received a 3 month shot of Elegard 45 days prior to starting my treatment which concluded on June 19th of this year. I have not received any further ADT since that first shot. I spoke with a couple highly regarded oncologist who said that at my age, 70, taking ADT may not be a great idea considering my conditions. Unfortunately I got this info after I received the shot. In August I had my first PSA test which was: .02. I plan on testing every 3 months for the first 2 years. I see where others are taking supplements however my oncologist did not recommend. I'd be interested in hearing what others think about what I've said and about the supplements as well. Thanks

I am a big believer in Turkey Tail mushroom (tea or capsules). I started a thread about my experience with it elsewhere on this site. See:
