Another question

[Guest guest]

I have appreciated reading all of the answers to my questions, and the pamphlets, and articles. I have had several opinions about our present situation. My husband has had a lapro removal, proton radiation last year and now his PSA has gone from .07 to .65.

I have read of men with PSA's of 200 and 2000. I don't think he has ever had a testosterone test. What are you eating? What vitamins, other than D, which we have begun taking. Has anyone seen a lowering do to something they have done apart from what I have read? I am more than amazed that this is such a mystery disease and I want to figure out some natural cure that three months from now we will see that number lower.

I have him on Vit D, potassium and E, and NO beta-carotene. I have him on selinium. We are taking cod liver oil.

He refuses to limit his diet to fish. Insists on meat and ice cream.

He has started drinking the best scotch. (never had more than a Corona before) and he is smoking cigars. (never before)

Have any of you had a PSA of 65 that went to .003 with ADT? Or 20? Or 200? Is it better to start this early? I mean, this early. Is this early or a late start? As I have said before we have the best oncologist and he has not called us about a concern about this number. He knows us well. That being said, I can also assume that he hasn't seen the results, or is going to wait until the next round.

I have found it quite interesting reading about the different labs. I know the last two tests were sent to mayo clinic. I know our previous ones were done with our doctor at the University of CO, or wherever they send them. He might also know about the differences in the labs, and from now on we should perhaps go back to where he has followed our progress for three years.

Suggestions?
