This forum is for people with prostate cancer or their caregivers. When you have cancer, people love to give you advice like “sugar feeds cancer, so stop sugar and your cancer will go away” or “don’t worry, most people die with prostate cancer, not of it” etc. These are not based on facts or are facts out of context. I think the advice on this forum should be considered food further research or something to talk to your doctor about. Since we and our cancers are all unique, advice from a non-oncologist who hasn’t examined you is maybe good general information, but cannot be a substitute for medical advice, even if the writer is a doctor. Do what your oncologist tells you to do. If you don’t trust him/her, find one you do trust. Generalized advice and research can help you know what to ask your oncologist.
