Well a healthy diet is recommended, but according to my oncologist what you eat is not that important.

There are some very valid scientific medical studies that disagree with the idea that diet isnt important.

Jim, I would find another oncologist who knows about how important a food plan for cancer is. It is your life so I would suggest reading How Not To Die by Dr. Michael Greger and visit his web site.

Hi Jim, google Chris Beat Cancer, you'll see lots of info to the contrary. I'm a firm believer in his approach.

I have a diabetic diet, a failing kidneys diet, and a Coumadin diet so I am left with little to eat except good healthy foods. I never used supplements or took special "anti-cancer" additives. I did have have PCa for 11 years and now I do not have cancer. I believe in faith, exercise. and positive thinking. Thank you for your comment.

very upbeat to go 7 years with no treatment and doing well. By any chance have you had an MRI of the prostate. I have had one yearly for 3 years. The last one had a PI-RadsV2 reading - it has 5 categories, one being the best and 5 the worse. I am curious if you had that done and if they gave you a category. Thanks for the info.

Rob100, I have a yearly Color Doppler and this year it was the best in 5 years. I believe in MRI but I started with Color Doppler and I am very happy with it. My Dr is and expert in doing it, reading, showing and explaining it to me.
