Thanks, I have now read the article, and it seems to have been used for men who had cancer in only part of the prostate. On the other hand it does speak of follow up where they found no cancer left in the tissues that had been targeted. Thus it appears that the tissue surrounding the cancer cells was still there. Therefore, would it be possible to target one area, later another, and still more at appropriate intervals to get rid of all cancer cells throughout the prostate.

I ask this because my guy’s PSA was around 20, and when they biopsied 12 locations in the prostate all 12 had a score of 2 or 3 on a 5 point severity scale. He is now comtemplating total removal. The good news is his soft tissues and bone were tested and show no metasteses. My late father had prostate cancer which was treated by implanting radioactive seeds in the prostate (at least I think that was what he told my son, the implanted part). How does that work? Are they removed when the PSA goes down? How do they know it has worked if they don’t do more biopsies? My father’s PSA returned to normal and he died 3 years later at 90 of a stroke while standing in a long grocery line. He did not say he had any bad effects from the seed treatment.

Any thoughts and advice from people whith experience and knowledge will be greatly appreciated. He is the love of my life. I am already giving him a number of supplements which I hope will help, but information or ideas on that topic would also be appreciated. My brother is recovering very well from colon cancer surgery and taking a number of supplements I sent him.
