It’s so frustrating that they are not giving men PSA tests, and so many are showing up with advanced prostate cancer cases. I don’t have an answer for this specific situation, but I know a place where you can get A lot of information.

To get more information, you should sign up with Ancan.org and attend their advanced prostate cancer weekly meetings. They have weekly two hour online meetings. The people there have 15 years experience handling prostate cancer treatment. There’s always at least three doctors at the meetings. You need some expert advice and they can give that to you. It is best if he can attend along with you, These meetings include video and you can both be in the video but if you choose not to do that, you can turn off the video.

The next meeting is January 5 at 5pm pacific time. You need to install GoTo Meeting on the device, you’re going to attend the meeting with. It’s a free download you just have to search for it. You join the meeting by putting answercancer For the meeting session name. Get to the meeting 10 minutes early and they will work with you first.

You should have all the medical information you can collect to discuss this with the moderators.

You do seem to have a lot of that information here already.

They will want to know where he is being treated and by whom.

I am 78 and have been dealing with prostate cancer for 16 years. I learned much of what I know going to the weekly ancan.org meetings.

If there is even one 4+5 that is the only number that counts.

You probably already heard about this, but I figured I’d at least add this

Along was high protein diets Colony-Stimulating Factors (CSFs) medications, given as injections, tell your bone marrow to make more white blood cells (neutrophils).
Examples: Filgrastim (Neupogen), Pegfilgrastim (Neulasta), Tbo-filgrastim (Granix).
