Sad news, but I think he declined treatment very early on

I think this guy knew he had PC for several yrs but declined treatment...I also think he died by assisted suicide sometime yesterday...doing nothing about PC can get you in big trouble down the road.

I am sorry you had to go through all your issues. I have a wife who has had over 50 operations with co-morbidities and a brother who had multiple types of cancer who died recently in a way nobody wants. It's incredibly frustrating when all you want is to be fixed and you are not getting there.
I am a big fan of Mayo as my wife also had a serious heart issue and she was well taken care of recently in Mayo Jacksonville. I agree with others here, try another center of Excellence. My radiation oncologist is at Orlando Health but trained at MD Anderson. To quote her: we are all making our best educated guesses. No guarantees.

❝Adams did not go into detail about his treatments, other than saying the anti-parasitic medications ivermectin and fenbendazole did not work for him.❞

Adams did not say whether he tried conventional treatment before that, so we can't assume he didn't, but I appreciate that he did a public service in sharing his negative experience with self-administered anti-parasitics, and also that he condemned attempts to politicise former President Biden's PCa diagnosis (despite not being a supporter).
So in the end, he did good.

I suspect my situation was similar to yours and Mr Adams' — my PSA was nearly 68 and the cancer had spread to my spine before I had a clue that I might have any cancer, much less prostate cancer (I was only 56 at the time). The doctors told me that a small minority of prostate cancer cases are like that — they srart young and metastasise almost immediately. That's probably the kind that killed people like Frank Zappa, Johnny Ramone, and Bill Bixby young.
Fortunately, these days, even de-novo advanced prostate cancer is often manageable long term with new meds and treatment strategies, if you get in early and treat it aggressively. That wasn't the case 5–10 years ago, but we have real hope today that they didn't have.
