Hi oldflyingfarmer, I feel now, with what I know now, your right. I think it would have worked. But now I feel you have a treatment to fall back on to. I once would never go against doctors orders. I only did this at first in 2007 because I had nothing else . My doctors told me my Gleason score was 7 I had the start of cancer in my bones so they told there was nothing they could do any more and they told me .the five year thing, At the time I believe them. I know if I had not gone on to what I'm doing now, I would be in a really bad way, late in 2008 I really believe I was going to die, then a bone scan my doctor ordered showed my bone cancer was gone. And be live me when I say I was so elated. I felt like dancing a round the doctors surgery. My doctor brought me down to earth though, by saying I still had the prostate cancer. oldflyingfarmer I feel The treatment you were on look good I believe it would have worked but the pressure you must have been under must have been some thing incredible. because I've been under it to. I decided to walk away from the RP because the historic treatment was working, it effected not only my prostrate but my whole body , but this is my chouse. we have to get on with our lives with what we got. take care Ray
