Prostate radiation and cardiac survivability.

oldkarl posted:
I have a Gleason 3+4=7, psa has risen from 6.5 to 12.7 this year. I first began to have urinary problems about 10 years ago, but repeated biopsies could find nothing until this year. My urologist/surgeon wanted to do radical prostectomy. The cardiologist said don't do it, he will die in surgery. I have had bypass twice, ten years apart. 30 cardiac catheterizations, now carry 24 stents. Diabetes 2 is made worse by the Janyl. Urologist is using hormones and Janyl to start, then wants to do radiation when I can urinate on my own. But what radiation and therapy machinery is best for me, considering the cardiac and diabetic issues? I also have had significant spinal trauma and have rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. With a history of several malignant melanomas over the years.

Have you ever considered alternative treatments?I have a 3 4 Gleason score as well and chose not to have it removed or have seeds and radiation.For over a year now have been doing a number of simple treatments myself,essiac tea,Budwig diet,IP-6 with inositol,modified citrus pectin,Meriva-Sr (turmeric),blackstrap molassas and baking soda,eating primarily fresh raw vegetables,beans and greens.Read up on subject and try a few together.Might just stop your tumor growth and help your other problems as well.I feel great and am not going to contribute to the 200 billion a year spent in the cancer industry that has found no cure in the last hundred years.Please do some looking into and become more in charge of your choice options.

Have you tried Essiac Tea in a soft gel form? Look at this website herbalbalanceforlife.com .

They have developed a high quality, bacteria free, essiac soft gel that is made in the US.
