If your prostate cancer is metastatic it's of no use. Check all your options thoroughly.

The following is taken from the link provided -- " ... For some people with cancer, is 6 months of immunotherapy the only treatment they might ever need? Or just 4 weeks of immunotherapy followed by minor surgery?

An earlier and different approach was in 2015 when Dr. Gary Onik performed a VERY MITICULOUS Hemi - Cryoablation of the confined Gleason 10 tumor in the right half of my prostate. Following that he then performed an in-situ injection of his own cocktail of the 3 drugs mentioned in the article and thus I became the 1st recipient of his outside the SOC box use of Keytruda + Opdivo + Yervoy.
