The most recent PSA test score in early October showed a good decline from 59 in August, however the number is still too high at 23. I am continuing with the various remedies and still trying new ideas that appear on my radar pretty frequently. Meanwhile I feel well and am enjoying normal activities.
I have learned more about using CBD as an anti-cancer remedy and just in the past week I am trying new approach that seems to be working well. I will be curious how this shows up in my next test.
I’ve had some interesting interactions about hormone therapy. I am convinced that long-term tinkering with hormones is not good, especially using the same pharmaceutical for many months. The overall effect is femininization, an unnatural trend with weird side effects. I use a combination of pills: Casodex (daily), Finisteride and Anastrozole (alternating days each) to block uptake of testosterone. My doctor suggested that I switch away from this to Emcyt, an older drug in the same genre. But when I went to the pharmacy, I learned that this is not approved by the consortium of behind-the-curtain decision-makers, and therefore would cost 30 times more than the current prescription. It is weird to have the treatment plan controlled by inaccessible people with different agendas, with no pathway for conversation. It is frustrating for me but probably even more so for doctors whose hands are tied.
Similarly I am learning that now that I am on Medicare, with supplemental coverage, my other strategies are being limited. I am no longer able to get insurance coverage for blood tests beyond the bare minimum of the PSA test, or the annual imaging tests that I have used to determine how I’m doing. So basically I am flying blind in terms of hard information, and therefore needing to turn more to my own inner sensing and intuition. This could be a good thing but is also more strenuous in some ways.
In a similar vein, I have read with interest of the abrupt recent deaths of many alternative cancer researchers, particularly anti-cancer pioneer Nicholas Gonzalez and GcMAF researcher Jeff Bradstreet. GcMAF holds great promise for cancer but research is actively blocked in the USA (Bradstreet died three days after being raided by the FDA); the only source I can find is Asia, impractical in every way for me. About one dozen of these deaths occurred in just a few months’ time. They have been ruled to be suicides, motiveless murders or previously undiagnosed health problems. There were no witnesses in any of the cases. Weird!

My overview page has run out of room and I am not sure what to do about that. Maybe I will start a new one, although it was amusing to have the whole story on just one page. Five years is a good round number, I guess.
