I had: PSA 30, Gleason 10, PCa Stage 4 localized to pelvic region.
Treated with IMRT radiation + Eligard + Abiraterone. PSA undetectable.
Stopped Abiraterone due liver that hates it (liver is ok).
Will try Nubeqa, and may switch to Orgovyx after Eligard runs out in December.
While ADT starves the cancer, I am taking some food supplements to help with side effects. I tried to select "healthy" supplements that may fight prostate cancer as well.
I've included links to a paper on each. Any feedback welcome.
John actually my hospital advice is 80 grams protein and switch to plant based diet, 1/3 fruits, 1/3 veggies and 1/3 protein. Kind of hard to do constantly, if you want resveratrol eat red grapes
Resveratrol is rumoured to work well with Turmeric and ursolic acid, however my oncology pharmacist says the tumeric and resveratrol have a negative effect on aberaterone. Who knows, it's a minefield.
Taking food supplements may benefit you, depending on what and how much you take. Some can also be toxic at higher dosages. It’s often a guessing game .
Turkeytail and other mushrooms are purported to be helpful. I've started drinking Ryze coffee ryzesuperfoods.com/ in the morning. Mud/wtr coffee also contains these healthy mushrooms. mudwtr.com/
Rather than just throwing "Supplement" darts at the wall, I would talk to a good naturopath about your specific situation and let them make some recommendations just for you. I wish you the best.
I remember Cellophane............ It goes like this, Betty Davis speaking: "Peter, Peter why are you wearing those Cellophane shorts? I always knew you were crazing but now I can see your nuts".
(you guys must hate me..... but I just gotta or I won't be able to sleep tonight)
