We both are very aware that there is risk involved in alternative treatments. If my husband’s cancer was such that zapping him with radiation, or even surgery was a viable option we probably wouldn’t be going down this road . Whatever the outcome I plan to document this journey so that others that are considering it will have something to think about. We have communicated with one man , an old friend of a doctor friend of ours , and he has three other acquaintances , ranging in age from 53-84, have had success with this protocol. That doesn’t mean it will work for us. My husband is 79. He wants five more enjoyable years, not five more years of really uncomfortable “manageable cancer. It is a crap shoot . We know.

If someone has an aggressive case of prostate cancer, they need to treat it sooner rather than later.
I know a few people who had very aggressive cases that are still around 10 years later because they treated their cancer consistently in are living as a result.
Radiation for prostate cancer has very few side effects from most people. If you don’t want to do ADT, then you can use estradiol patches, Which have been proved as effective as ADT, but have many fewer side effects. Even if you do ADT, adding estradiol patches can reduce the side effects as well. Here’s some more information about using estradiol.

Prostate cancer is extremely painful if you let it go untreated. I’ve seen my father die in excruciating pain from prostate cancer. Be careful, Alternate treatments may leave you with a very short timeline.
