I was diagnosed last July with Gleason 9. Bone scan and CT were negative for spread. PSA 35.

I was started on a Lupron and casodex then had external radiation followed by brachytherapy boost. After 4 months PSA was 0.01.

I am being followed by urology oncologist at teaching university.

Sorry to hear that. Gleason 8 is nasty stuff. Estrogen patches may help with the hot flashes.

The drop in PSA is what you expect and want from casodex and Lupron.

Rick Simpson oil has no effect on prostate cancer.

That is really a marketing site and you have posted this three times onto this thread!

The actual claim is stage 3 (localised) but the story seems restricted to cannabis promotion sites.

Here's the typical aftermath of using cannabis to "treat" cancer:
