He asked me to try and find some first hand experiences with some of the treatment options. He wants to hear from someone who actually went through the "seeds" therapy and the cryotherapy. He is not sure which treatment to go for and would like some personal experiences from some people. If you have undergone either "seeds" therapy or cryotherapy please post your experience, including any side affects or anything. It would be much appreciated by both me and my grandfather. Urpunkdoll Tue, 18 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. don't know much, i.e., stage etc. PSA of 4.9 and 4 out 12 tissues showed cancer. Looking for comments by those who have some sort of treatment. What can I expect? That is what I think your grandfather is looking for too. Let me know what you find. Brewman Wed, 26 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT Amanda (for your Grandfather) and Russell. My suggestion is to find a prostate cancer support group in your areas. Two groups that I am associated with are Man to Man (American Cancer Society) and one that is sponsored by USTOO (www.ustoo.org). My group has men who have been treated with every procedure out there. The big advantage of a group like this for you is that you can talk face-to-face with the men who have undergone the treatment you are thinking about. You'll probably find that each and every man responds a little differently even if they have the same procedure. The more you can talk to men who "have been there - done that," the more you will refine your choices to what you want. I have men who have undergone seed implant who are happy with that and 2 who have undergone cryotherapy and are happy with that. Robert (Bob) H. Sun, 13 Feb 2005 00:00:00 GMT I don't know much about prostate cancer. I'm just the son of a woman who survived angiosarcoma. So now my worry is that some day the cancer could come back. So i'm constantly searching for anything that could help avoid metastasis from occuring in my mother' body. In Ecuador and some south american countries the use of BIRM against cancer is growing. It was developed by an Ecuadorian oncologist Dr. Edwin Ceballos. Hundreds of his cancer patients are using it. It is extracted from Dulcamara, some marine plant in the amazon rainforest. It hasn't gotten approval for sale in USA yet, but I don't care because if I went for the FDA to approve it, by then my mother could be dead of natural advanced age. I've contacted the clinic where Dr. Ceballos works in Ecuador to see if they can sell me and ship me some bottles. According to what I've read, Dr. Ceballos is trying to get approval for sale of BIRM in USA but first many studies have to be done. One such study was done and completed in Miami and the results are very encouraging. In the study, besides rats, male humans with prostate cancer were involved and the results couldn't be better. If I have to fly to Ecuador to buy the product, i'll do it. I would do anything for my mother.
