I hope that no matter your passion, you can find something to distract and motivate you through treatment. Also find resources that can help guide you through all the data, medical jargon, and treatment options. I have found ZERO Cancer as a main source of support. #prostatecancer #psa #knowyou...

I'm booked in to see a Radiation Oncologist this week and deoending on PET results i might ask for some time, like 90 days where i can go hard on every alternative natural treatment like fenbendazole and ivermectin, RSO, CDS, everything thats too much to list but what I've researched over the past year.

    Chris I've seen all of your videos. I feel so sorry for you and what you're going through. It makes me think that I should not do anything if I hear what you're going through. I have a bunch of Gleason 7 cores in the doctors want to start radiation or prostatectomy. But I am delaying. I'm hoping that active surveillance with a very healthy diet and exercise might suppress the cancer. Stop it from growing. Because I know once I start treatment I'll be a customer of the medical profession for life! It terrifies me what I would be going through.

    Chris I have listened to all of your videos everyone!!! But I can't remember recalling what was your original Gleason scores. Very important for me to know. Cuz I am researching deciding what treatment I am going to take. I'm sort of leaning towards proton therapy. But I plan on refusing all hormone treatments. Also, would you happen to know the "volume" of those scores. Thank you so much.

    Incontinence was terrible for 2-3 weeks after surgery but if you are religious about kegels it can make a difference. I can hold at night now to sleep, but the daytime standing upright is a different story. A penal clamp by Weiss gave me mobility back. It has been a life saver but is not a replacement for doing your pelvic floor exercises.

I wouldn't go to that guy I feel so sorry for you Chris. I have listened to all of your videos so far. Following your story. I am learning a lot too. To me listen to your stories and others I don't believe there's a cure for this cancer. Seems like it's only benefitingthe doctors and chemical companies.

    Hi Chris thanks for your very helpful advice, you have been through it all. At 70 yrs and a year after surgery I have 100% ED and not prepared to waste time with pills and injections my best option seems to be an implant. Same as you it's a last resort and worried about the risks. Are you still satisfied with your decision and does the need for ongoing treatment due to increasing PSA have any implications relating to an implant? Thank you.

  • @travelconxtions

    Hi Chris don't know if your still answering questions. So am questioning if you had the lymph nodes out how come you don't have a drain bag fitted?. I'm in the UK 🇬🇧 and just had Radical prostatectomy and they also took out the seminal verciles because my cancer reached there. But unlike you I have a drainage tube draining lymph fluid from my side . I've been sent home with the tube attached and am having to count the amount of fluid that is draining. Currently it's 200 - 400ml within 24 hrs . It must get down to 50ml in a 24hr period before they will remove the pipe.. Maybe they drained your fluid in the operation. Maybe it's a different procedure here. I'm wondering why they didn't drain my lymph fluid while I'm in the operation? They also told me that my bladder was leaking during the operation so I have to leave my catheter in 3 weeks instead of 2 and before they remove it they will scan me with a cystascope to make sure my urethra and bladder have joined correctly and that there is no leak. I'm glad that I watched your vloggs weeks before I had surgery as originally I had chosen to have TURP then Radiotherapy. But your vloggs changed my mind . So thanks for all your information.. And hope your still doing great. I started running before my operation then changed to nice walks now bought a bike. And I will be back into walks and bike rides as soon as possible.. Hope your still running.

      ​@@gioQ1953I've been recovering pretty well. It's just been over 20 days. I had a setback last week when I fell going into the bathroom. Dislocation my shoulder, stiches on my head, cut leg, and bruised torso. I don't have too much leakage problems, although I'm still using pads in my underwear, just in case. Urgency is still present, but flow is much better. Post-op pathology report shows the cancer has spread to one of the removed lymph nodes. Will check PSA in 6 weeks. Good luck with your recovery.

    Good evening Chris.... 1st of all congratulations on your pathway to 0 cancer. I wanted to ask a question regarding the salvage radiation. I had my prostate removed my PSA was 11 and arising in June of 2023 after 2 recent PSA checks it was 0.16 and it is now 0.22. My urologist is suggesting salvage radiation. I watched the video with this title and I just wanted to say thank and I pray for your continued recovery and for all of us in the chat. I am nervous about this as much as anyone else would be.... I ask that you just pray for strength and courage for all of us. Thank you for sharing this information to help all of us.

  • @fredflintstone8574
    @fredflintstone8574 3 месяца назад

    With PSA 3-5 a PSMA scan should see it. Since it's not, you may have a variant that will more likely show up on a scan like a choline scan. I think there are also others like it that use the cancer metabolism to image. I know Mayo does Choline scans. Perhaps one of these types are available at Anderson.

    Hi Chris Thanks for sharing your journey. Mine began last August when I discovered that I have grade 5 prostate cancer and had been living with it for four years. I was scheduled for surgery but freaked out at the consequences so changed to radiation. I have been on Androgen Deprivation Therapy for 4 months now and start my 38 radiation sessions in 3 weeks. I am super fit, my metabolic age is 51 although I am actually 66, and the only side effect I get from ADT is brain fog. I never get tired and have all my energy but I lost confidence in my ability to function and gave up driving my car. So it is still my intensive daily exercise program. I did switch to a strictly vegan diet including no sugar or sugar-like substances such as white flour, white rice, corn, potatoes. I have never drunk alcohol, coffee etc so was well placed because my body rhythms have never been interfered with. I am concerned about radiation scarring of my urethra and have done everything to boost my immune system and reduce my body’s tendency to inflammation.
