BiPolar Testosterone - A Cure - or Total BS

[gusgold]

A recent post contained an article boasting about a cure for PCa....the truth is the men were asymptomatic with a low to moderate metastatic cancer burden. The men were continued on ADT and received a supraphysiologic dose of T for 28 days along with etoposide a form of chemo. It appears the treatment is a way to keep the PCa androgen sensitive more than a cure which is still a way to beat death from CRPC.

One guy developed a supraphysiologic erection and died of a heart attack after 37 hours of non-stop sex...holy cow..this is how I want to go...sure beats the morphine drip!

I wouldn't call it a cure either. I go to clinic at Johns Hopkins with one of the doctors running the U.S. Phase II trial. We have talked about the trial several times. I'm not at a stage where it makes sense to join the trial, but I'd be willing if I were. The results so far suggest success for some men, though I don't think they can yet explain exactly why.

I have oncologists on both coasts. The one in Seattle has mentioned trying the high dose testosterone several time, but the one at Duke is skeptical. I will probably come up again soon after we see the results of the liver biopsy I had on Wednesday. Meanwhile, I had my 22nd chemo treatment today. So far I have not had the normal chemo side effects except hair loss! Knock wood!

Please, please please don't try this yourself. It is NOT ready, by any stretch of the imagination, for prime time.

And you know this because? Did you read the study results...didn't see any dose related morbidity, shrinking tumors, psa drops, comparable to toxic chemo, why not?
