Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Yes, there are plenty of us out here who haven’t had conventional treatment because we feel that the tumour will not be a life-threatening experience for us. I have a site – You Are Not Alone Now at http://www.yananow.net and one of the sections of that site has the experiences of men who have chosen all the differing options for their diagnosis. Included in that are men who have chosen not to have conventional treatment. For some it has worked, for others it hasn’t but you can see all the stories at http://www.yananow.net/Experiences.html#ww I try to keep them up to date and most of them have entries for this year. The Bronze Silver and Gold denominators show how long it has been since diagnosis – and you will see there are some Silver and Gold entries being five or more years survival and ten or more years respectively, All the best Terry Herbert in Melbourne Australia Diagnosed ‘96: Age 54: Stage T2b: PSA 7.2: Gleason 3+3=6: No treatment.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I didn't know I had prostate cancer for at least 10 years. It spread to my bladder & my lungs. The doc told me that once it hits the blood stream it was like spraying all the organs with the cancer cells and the 3 areas were just the tip of the iceberg. Don't put off treatment. Get on it ASAP. --- Manley Jesus.is.healing.my.cancer@...
