Patrick posted about the anti-cancer benefits of Astaxanthin...there is actually a study about a supplement that combined Astaxanthin and Saw Palmetto...might be worth trying...Swanson sells a supplement like the one mentioned in the study

I have been on casodex plus avodart 7 yrs and it raises testosteron thus esttraiol thus my man boobs. The avodart just Lowerr the dht. Trying to get a 6 pack and bench presses to offset. Took luten astaxanthin foe eyes but ran out. Will order more.

I am also wanting to combat man boobs. I realized that bench presses don't really do the job (I thought they did) -- they are more for shoulder, triceps and way upper chest. Try the 'fly': lay on back on bench with dumbells out to the side. Raise and lower the dumbells -- that will really target the 'pecs'. The 'reverse fly' (same thing but lying on stomach on bench) is good for combating rounded shoulders/slouching ... and it is always good to perform 'opposite' type exercises.

Do you just take casodex and avodart as drugs for PCa? If so, how much casodex in mg. and how much avodart?

I sent to the wrong person, my bad. Rococo, how much casodex do you take? Beside avodart do you take an ADT drug like Luprom?

Rocco,

Casodex failed me after 15 months. I had my first Luprom injection today.

Thanks for that info. I recall my Saw Palmetto days when I was dealing with an enlarged prostate years ago. I am surprised to find that Saw Palmetto also provides a benefit for prostate cancer.
