My prostate cancer is metastatic because it has spread to eight spots on my skeleton.

I’ve been on Lupron therapy for the past year and my PSA has gradually gone down to 0.4. Doctor said it could work for another 3-6 years, but it could be sooner or longer. My latest CT continues to show no spreading to other organs and there was a slight improvement in my bone scan.

I take some supplements, including 10,000 iu of vitamin D, and hve elimintrd almost all sugar. Aso in the process of losing weight. Also taking 1 tsp of baking soda since there are some arguments that cancer needs an acidic environment to survive and grow. Not sure if it works, but my doctor said it wouldn’t hurt.

Ws at a patient-focused semainar at MDA in July, and the researchers are very optimistic that there will be a cure in the foreseeable future. I will still be around for it.

Whoa! Down to 0.4? I’m very happy for you! Prayers that your therapy continues to work.

We are at MDA also. Feel very blessed to have that at our disposal. Thanks for the info on the progress for a cure.
