Thanks for bumping this Matty D!Matty D said:post 112615 What a great thread friends. So much value. Thank you all!
Update on my dad: He has had some improvements that coincide with making a couple small changes recently. I mailed my dad some energin and estro-ban that I had on hand in early October and he started talking a half dose of each along a 325 mg aspirin daily. He isn't yet comfortable with the idea of hormonal supplements but did take to the idea of managing estrogen with vitamins and aspirin. In November he went for his 6 month checkup with the urologist and I can hardly believe it myself but his PSA had gone down by .7 (from 4.8 to 4.1)! This isn't huge but it's something because it is now .1 below what it was when he was originally diagnosed and he feels good. The urologist of course wasn't convinced that what he was doing could have any effect on his prostate cancer and insisted on doing a biopsy because it had been 5 years since his last one. My dad refused the biopsy, some unpleasant exchange occurred and he fired the urologist and decided to just monitor the PSA in the future through his family doctor. He wants to discuss all the information I've sent him when we get together over the holidays. I will try to update here with any new developments. Oh, and he is still drinking beer but has cut it down by about half according to my mom. :)
