Great news, congratulations!!!

I am having the same diagnosis, started the journey with orchitectomy and docetaxal chemo, psa got down from 189 to 0.21 in months, but I know its a long May be uneven path...

Will you please share your treatment path, food regimen, any special foods you took, other suggestions regarding exercise and lifestyle

They started me on Hormone suppressants the day I was diagnosed Then 6 docataxal infusions 3 weeks apart

Then radical radiotherapy to the prostate

My PSA when diagnosed was 13.3

Every blood test showed a reduction in PSA

My experience was more mental than physical

I found my first year very emotional

I have an amazing wife Wonderwoman

She had 2 glasses of wine watching movies with me last night

She is fast asleep with a smile on her face

Absolutely beautiful

I will do all I can to keep her smiling

She deserves it

My son asked me to write letters from now on

I used to do this when he was a teenager he has a huge stack of letters in a box he holds dear

Gonna be the best dad and husband I can be while I've still got time

In Barbados where I grew up there was no Chemo or radiation available to the poor There is a potion they still use up to this day

My uncle sent it to me when I was diagnosed

The world's most powerful natural

antibiotic

Ginger

Turmeric

Garlic

Apple cider vinagwr

Horse Radish

Scotch bonnet pepper

I My wife and I have a shot every morning

Like a shot of brandy

My wife claims her hair and nails have recovered and she had a skin condition that somehow disappeared

No cure all but it is the first step in being proactive

Tastes awful but it works lol

Yes it has been used in India for generations Let's keep this to ourselves

Many frown on the use of herbs

It has been a mainstay in the West Indies before I was born

I remember seeing my grandmother with a jar of the pungent elixir she would give me a shot if I had any illness from a cold to an earache lol

I avoided it

It was torture lol

She lived to 102
