However, I do wonder if a good diet and exercise would have prevented what this addresses. Regardless, if it helps once you get this form of advanced prostate cancer, by all means, augment with it.

Regular exercise has cancer prevention benefits in my opinion.
I briefly took metformin several years ago, and it exacerbated abdominal problems. I've been taking oral diabetic medications since 2000, and metformin is the only one I had problems with.
My sister-in-law's family doctor put her on metformin years ago, and never required her to test her blood sugar since she's been on it. Last year she went into a diabetic coma, because she was too stupid to know that if you don't eat anything, you shouldn't be taking diabetic medication without testing your blood sugar to see if you need it. She could have died. She also had stomach issues the whole time she took it. Had the runs for years taking it.
I’ve seen articles about Metformin in cancer studies. Metformin was found to reduce (prevent) some cancers by 50%.
I have Stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer. Diagnosed almost 9 years ago. Was diagnosed with type II diabetes at the same time. I’ve known about the positive effects about Metformin for over 8 years.
Also a higher level of Vitamin D3 helps prevent prostate cancer and slows the growth of it.
It’s been almost 9 years, and my PSA has been undetectable for almost 5 years.
Also do not have either the BRCA-1 or BRCA-2 genetic defects. That’s a huge plus for treatment.
