Paul...Saw your post...I'm starting BAT again on Monday...I've been metastatic for 4 1/2 years...last year I got my Oncologist to give me the large (400) BAT injections every month..Having testosterone in my system again just made a world of difference..More energy, Libido back., etc...I got the injections for 7 months, but then of course my PSA went up to 110...so we stopped the BAT...I've been on Lupron for 4 1/2 years and decided that I was no longer going to put it in my system...After dealing with PC for 10 years (4 1/2 stage 4) my quality of life was the most important thing for me...I was just going to "ride it out"...But my Oncologist and I had a talk and he convinced me to try Pluvicto...He has several patients on it and they're doing well....I told him I wanted to resume the BAT simply because It just makes me feel better...he agreed, so in a few days I start BAT again...We'll watch the PSA ....I'm going to start Pluvicto early June....We'll see how that goes...Google Bryan Olson "a patients story"...read and also watch the vid.....Great info on BAT.....Good luck my friend!

The video in question was authored by Bryce (not Bryan) Olson. Unfortunately he died in July 2023, does anyone know the circumstances of Bryce Olson's death?

His obituary can be found on Goggle.

Bryce Olson caught his "final wave" in Portland, Oregon on July 13, 2023, surrounded by a small group of family and friends following a long and inspiring journey with cancer.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

j-o-h-n,

Thanks. It would be interesting to know the circumstances of Mr. Bryce Olson's demise, although it is obviously a private matter. My reasoning is based on his very upbeat youtube (ZEROPROSTATE) video published in September 2022. In that video Mr. Olson was extremely positive about the BAT therapy that he was experiencing. It seems very surprising that he passed away less than 10 months later.
