Diet for ADT

[Worked_the_World]

(Duplicate post from Advanced Prostate Cancer).

What diet should I be following while on ADT for the next two years? Guidelines from handout sheets are contradictary and unclear.

I have been on Orgovyx for almost three months, starting on February 27, 2024. My PSA has dropped from 9.2 to 1.2 to 0.9. My Gleason Score is 9 in six cores and 6 in one more. I will receive implanted gold fiducials on April 12, and will start five sessions of SBRT on April 29, 2024. I am 85 years old. My cancer according to a CT and and MRI scan is contained within the prostate.

I am in excellent health, hit the gym several times a week, and exercise my mind with writing adventure novels and playing the piano.

Eat whatever you like eating - everything in moderation - make sure to get enough protein to sustain muscle mass - no need to go to extremes by eliminating specific foodstuffs - live your life your way.

I agree. His diet has been good for him for 84 years!!!

You cannot believe how welcome your advice is.

Outside of controlling bowel movements, gas, and irritating urine during my SBRT, I plan to return to eating the wide range of ethnic foods and flavors I enjoy. I am a cook and make international dishes from around the world.

Hello

Currently 4 months into a 6 month session of ADT. Here in the UK the NHS is still using Lupron, my blood test at 3 months showed a marked reduction in PSA but also that my white blood cell count was down significantly. So I am incorporating more foods that are supposedly good at boosting white blood cells and my immunity. Fruit, fresh vegetables, nuts and seeds, probiotic yoghurt, foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids like Salmon. Not really much different to my normal diet, other than adding a few more seeds to my cereal in the morning and an extra bit of fruit during the day. I have found not over-eating does also help with some of the side effects. Hope it goes well & all the best.

Brian.

Eat anything that doesn't eat you first.
