I had difficulty getting through the screening process to see Dr. Kwon. My wife found and showed me all of Dr. Kwon’s videos on YouTube and the Prostate Cancer Research Institute. She found his business email address on one of the videos and wrote an email letter to him. To our surprise, he called us the next morning.

I was stage 4 when diagnosed and our local university system wouldn’t do chemo (they claimed it wasn’t effective). Dr. Kwon saw me and started aggressive treatment which I tolerated well. It has been 17 months since we started treatment with Dr. Kwon. I have been clear on 2 successive scans over the last six months. (Amazing since the university docs said the odds of getting rid of my disease was “very low, very low.”)

We live ten hours (by car) from Mayo Rochester. I have just completed my 15th trip over 17 months. Best investment of time and money ever. Many thanks to PCRI, Dr. Kwon, and his Mayo team. They are years ahead of most of the nation in advanced treatment.

@kam23, thank you so much for sharing your personal experience.
I would very much like to get Dr. Kwon's opinion and am hoping that after our initial visit we will be able to request an appointment with him directly . If not, I will do everything I can to mimic your wife's ingenious approach (she sounds like a gem).
So happy to hear of your successful treatment and wish you the very, very best.
