Re: We are growing in number

[Guest guest]

I'm well enough after 8 rounds with Taxotere (last Tx 20/04/04). As you

know, I've lost one testicle to a tumour and it looks like I'll be

losing the other. Not much chance of me following Sammy's regimen after

that. I've started Atrasentan for want of anything better to do.

Taxotere reduced my tumours astoundingly well (strangely except for the

one on my testicle) and my PSA from around 300 to 81.

Now that Taxotere is FDA approved and proven in the TAX 327 trials we

need to have it as an option in the UK for PCa as well as BCa.

We miss you over this side of the hill, , but appreciate the great

work you're doing with this group. The talk last Saturday was by

Brown, Consultant Uro at Stepping Hill, Stockport. He explained

his pilot study using High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. Very tasty and

optimistic and again we owe much there to our Chinese friends.

But for me optimism is somewhat dented when in excess of 75% of men in

the UK present with Advanced disease.

,

This is what Dr Howenstine has to say about MGN 3. Have you heard of cesium chloride?

Regards

<<My enthusiasm for MGN 3 has dwindled a little as it seems that it may often require removal of bulk of cancer tissue to work effectively i.e.surgery. It is quite expensive. I am very excited about cesium chloride in liquid form which appears to be safer than capsules.This has cured at least one person with prostate cancer. Look up cesium and cancer on the internet for more information. Dr. Howenstine>>

Taxotere 3 weekly 75mg per m2 with dexamethasone and prednisolone only. I took some MGN3 as a booster. It was hard to say if it, (MGN3), was effective. Strange you never mentioned the Rugby in the note to your NZ friend! Lancaster

Glad to hear from you again. Taxotere seems to have knocked the tumour for 4 if not 6. (You can tell the cricket has been on today - Sorry Louisa it was a close thing at the end 56 runs wanted and 4 wickets left if Giles or Thorpe had gone the New Zealanders would have been in the ascension!)

Did you have Taxotere neat or with other drugs?

Thanks

Perhaps we ought to forget about the football (soccer) too. I must admit that I hadn't seen the rugby, but did remember seeing that the Antipodes won the Rugby games!

Best wishes
