About nully’s cancer diagnosis (vanity)
nully | 10/5/25 | null and void

Posted on 10/05/2025 1:58:15 PM PDT by null and void

I’ve recently been diagnosed with cancer. Now that I’ve got your attention, the prognosis is very good, with treatment I have a 95% chance of surviving it for 15 years. That doesn’t say I won’t croak of something else, but that it won’t be the cancer!

It’s prostate cancer, very early detection (insert Public Service Message here, PSA test detected it when it was really small. Guys? Get one!). Lump confirmed by MRI, cancer and lack of metastasizing confirmed by PET scan.

There are several treatment options, surgery, radiation, chemical castration, etc. I’ve ruled out the last one! I’ve already had two surgical procedures, UroLift and TURP, I’m going for something different this time.

Since testosterone is like Miracle-Gro to prostate cancer I’ll be getting shots to block it starting Tuesday. I ‘get to’ experience menopause, oh joy. Don’t be surprised if I start posting in soprano about my hot flashes... I should recover normal testosterone levels within six months after the treatment.

The technology for radiation therapy has vastly improved. Rather than emission from a radioisotope they now use a precisely focused beam from a linear accelerator to do pinpoint irradiation, from multiple angles, minimizing the exposure to surrounding tissues. Even then they further minimize the exposure of the rectum (which touches and practically nestles the prostate) by a one-time injection of a ‘hydrogel’ to provide physical separation. The hydrogel is slowly absorbed by the body but preserves adequate spacing for the course of treatment.

The course of treatment is very small doses done every weekday for 45 days. Total exposure is about 5 minutes each day.

Six months of treatment, two months of testosterone blocker, a bit less than two months of radiation and testosterone blocker, and a final two months of testosterone blocker.

Follow up of periodic PSA test to verify no recurrence.

Easy-peasy.

So of course I have to make it more complicated. Fenbendazole and Ivermectin have shown promise in a few studies as have select vitamins and other supplements, so after talking to my urologist, I’ve started Fenben and IVM and such already.

Praying for you.

If you continue to post I’ll follow your progress. I went through a clinical trial surgical procedure this year myself for prostate cancer. The use of Aquablation, a water jet procedure that is now used to reshape a prostate for BHP, in trials to be used to cut out cancer. The goal of this is a more minimal evasive procedure (accesses through the colonoscopy route) that leaves some of the prostate in tact for function, and a non heat source to not damage nerves in the region.

My husband had Proton Beam Radiation Therapy thirteen years ago in Loma Linda CA. . It was very successful. I think it’s available in many places now. At the time it was not.

Yes, Ivermectin and Fenben.

I’m interested in what dose schedule and trusted Ivermectin sources you use.

Amazon appears to be out of the selling Ivermectin biz...

This is the Indian pharmacist my friend ordered from.

I’m taking Ivermectin, 3 12 milligram tablets a day, and Mebendazole 250 ml. a day. The tablets are 500 ml so I great it in half. I did some research and devised a protocal from the info I found. Mebendazole is formulated for humans, and is considered better than Fenbendazole for that reason, more digstible or something.

If you have any questions about getting from India, just ask and I will ask my friend.
