I have been through both radiation and chemo. Your Gleason is not that bad. But I would take a look at Ivermectin, Phenbendazole. There is an excellent book out called Miracles from the Vault. Researched by an MD, Dr. Searles I believe. Their chapter on cancer is excellent with natural remedies he found from all over the world. Used it is less than $10 shipped. I am using several from that book including the above. Hope this helps.

Barry..first of all how old are you and where are you located?…I’m no fan of chemo also but when I went metastatic PC I did 9 rounds of Jevtana (chemo) and had no hair loss and no nausea….1 hr in the chair every 3 weeks…I realize everyone is different but it was a piece of cake for me and at the time I was 81….So you might wanna look into Jevtana…As far as other problems ( including your head) look into Proton Beam Therapy….I have “hot spots” on my bones they treat with Proton Therapy…My latest scans show a small “spot” at the base of my skull…,Going to have it zapped in a couple of weeks..,.I’m in So Ca so Proton Beam Therapy is available…Good luck my friend.

if you are sure you are not going proceed with conventional treatment you might want to check Joe Tippens protocol. You can find his followers and read some testimonies on FB “my cancer story rocks.” God bless.

You might try messaging tall Allen directly to see if he can offer any guidance. Goodluck.

Like you I had experience with other people on Chemo. It seemed considerably easier to cope with thank I had imagined, but still tough.

Over the last week or so I have noticed postings on not wanting to do chemo because of other people’s experience or simply word of mouth.

As I read those postings one thought keeps coming to my mind. Are we comparing apples to apples. By that the chemo for prostate cancer is milder and has less side effects then say other forms of chemotherapy.

So I guess I am wondering why this anti chemo attitude?

Not what you're looking for?
