Hi all,
My PSA has been rising and Dr seems to think all is well. In jan 2008 my PSA was 5 now in the last year it is 10.2.
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2005.Had a yr oos hormone therepy and then had transureathal hyperthermia in Germany. this has woked very well and I have regular check ups. A little concerned about this rise in about 1 year. Had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in my kidney and so far this is ok.
any thoughts?

hi Skip I all ways thought that transureathal hyperthermia was for for benign prostatic hypertrophy BHP and not for prostrate cancer. Can you get it done a gain. if not you can do what I do that is I use 4x 40mg red clover tablets I take two 40mg tablets in the morning and at night thats 120mg of red clover a day plus the budwid diet for prostrate cancer of two table spoones of grown up flack seeds and two table spoons cotage cheese with soy milk and sweetner twice a day this over the last 4 weeks brught my PSA down allmost 2.8 points from 13.8 to 11
If you want to know how transurethral microwave applicator kills cancer cells and how it works. Resurch found way back in the 1930 that heat over 107F will kill any cancer cell and wont kill normal cells well and a live
A transurethral microwave applicator has been designed around a Foley catheter for delivery of local hyperthermia to the prostate. The Foley balloon is used to maintain the antenna position within the prostatic urethra. The Foley catheter also features an antenna choke to confine power deposition to the intended region. The antenna is a coaxial dipole designed to operate at 915 MHz. Qualitative and quantitative specific absorption rate (SAR) patterns maintaining a maximum urethral temperature of 47°C (=115F) to 48°C. Histology obtained acutely after the hyperthermia treatments showed minimal damage to the periurethral tissues. We conclude from these studies that this microwave applicator is capable of providing local hyperthermia to the prostatic tissues with a predictable and well-circumscribed thermal out come all the best Ray
