You may or may not like my response, but here goes. THC edibles and tinctures saved my life during chemo. I liked the tincture most because I could control the dosage.
FYI, I never partook before my diagnosis. I am not a pot head. I asked my doctor for their advice, being from Texas they certainly couldn’t prescribe it (we had a good laugh), and ethics doesn’t allow them to recommend it. However, they told me there are a ton of patients that have reported positive results. Including some of their own.
If if you are in a state where it is legal, no problem. If not, drive to one where it is and bring some back. My adult kids and their friends got it for me.
57 Was when I was diagnosed - Had RP in November, 2022 for Gleason Score 7 (4,3).
How is your husband doing now ? My husband was diagnosed the end of April 2023 with stage 4 Prostate cancer. He is getting his first chemo treatment tomorrow. He is 67. Any advice ?

This is not unusual. I know many veterans who are younger then 40 yrs that have prostate cancer. Can be caused by chemicals. There is so much we are exposed too. Currently my PSA level goes up and down. The doctors are monitoring my prostate. I did have a MRA, but know cancer. I don’t know we’re I fall cancer in the future?

Diagnosed at 61, I’m 62 now.
Feel free to reach out and ask questions. Nothing is too personal here. There's lots of support and shared info.
I am 74, diagnosed 9 months ago with a Gleason score of 4+3 and PSA of 63 spread to 2 lymph nodes, had 20 rounds of radiation and on Zoladex for 18 months.
My last checkup in April my PSA was .25 so we all have to do the best we can and keep hanging in there.
Happy Father's Day to everyone.
Have nice thoughts, happy times and good health.
