Prostate cancer and lycopene

Yes, I have seen improvement in my PSA!! I was diagnosed with a Gleason 3+4 PC after biopsy in August of 2025 with a PSA of 6.04. Since then and after reading many clinical trials and medical literature on PC and what "Active Surveillance" means, I went ahead and started taking 15mg of lycopene supplement daily; completely removed red meat and alcohol from my diet; considerably reduced dairy and sugar and added daily portions of vegetables, some type of fish (salmon, sardines, etc.); drank at least 72oz of water daily, and did treadmill twice a week 30-45 min of fast walking. For dessert, I always have a small slice of guava paste (also high in lycopene). In October my PSA went down to 5.4; in December it went down to 3.54, and this month it is now at 3.40. If I can avoid the potential consequences of current treatment options for PC and live a healthier life by simply changing my diet and doing more exercise to help beat this and other cancers, I would like to share this with everyone hoping that it works for you as well. Unfortunately, I believe only another biopsy will tell me if my Gleason score went down as well. Positive thinking and prayers always help. Stay well!

@navig8tr I forgot to include that I also drink 8oz of 100% Pomegranate juice (Pom Wonderful) daily. This diet along with some exercise has helped to see my PSA trending down for the last 6-7 months. I intend to increase my exercise as pointed out in this thread by @climateguy in December 2025. I hope this helps. Stay well!
