Hi,

I've a medium rate prostate cancer (3+4=7 Gleason score) which might have grown despite the low PSA results over the past 5 years. I'll see what the urologist says about my last MRI. Night time urination, in combination with other issues are just desrupting my sleep. Is menbendazole working for prostate cancer or should I choose fenbendazole? Can anyone help me with an authentic advice?

Why aren't you taking it seriously instead of following internet nonsense?

Sorry, I just came across the two medications for cancer a few days ago. So I am still trying to find the most convincing data and testimonilas. I'd appreciate if you helped me with more information. Thanks. Whichever way I made up my mind. I had enough of the sleepless nights...

They sometimes call it "cancer panic" -- the anxiety, ruminating mind, sleeplessness, inability to make rational decisions, etc. When I was first diagnosed, I saw a psychotherapist who taught me how to practice mindfulness. With a LOT of practice, it helped a lot. But first, I got an Rx for sleeping pills. Lack of sleep makes everything worse.

You didn't say how many cores had cancer in them, but you seem to have "favorable intermediate risk" cancer - that means it is slow growing and curable with a number of therapies. You have lots of time to learn more and speak to an array of specialists.

The most convincing data is put out by medical organizations and peer-reviewed journals. Here's a good place to start:

nccn.org/patients/guideline...

Ignore "testimonials" - people say all sorts of crazy things on the Internet and there is no one who can verify any of it. Also ignore anything that doesn't come from a prospective clinical trial. Everything works in mice.

Are you seeing an oncologist? I would find a medical oncologist who specializes in prostate cancer and have them guide you in your treatment. Are you currently taking any treatments?

Advice? You look intelligent in the picture. So hopefully this doesn't need to be repeated. See a real Doctor. In your case a medical Oncologist.Not to scare you but Geeez. This is serious stuff. Get the hell off the internet and see a Dr.

Those medications are for preventing cancer not curing it.

I don't like to discourage anyone from seeking alternative medicine. But I would encourage you use them WITH standard medical treatment.
