Common Questions and Answers about Hormone balance prostate cancer

You should read the book entitled - "Invasion of the Prostate Snatchers: No More Unnecessary Biopsies, Radical Treatment or Loss of Sexual Potency".... I would recommend going to the Mayo Clinic web site and research guidelines for PSA testing. Hard to give any advice with little information to go on.
Low testosterone is directly related to prostate cancer in us old guys. Its has many physiological benefits. I know from personal experience. Natural testosterone cream reduced my blood sugar, triglyceride and cholesterol levels to a normal range. My depression lifted and my enegry levels increased. When testosterone is converted to DHT and estrogen it can be problematic. But there are safe and effective way to prevent that from happening.
Thank you for your question. Chris is right when it comes to advanced prostate cancer. There is no permanent cure but you can beat the odds.
To answer your question, you still have PSA-only recurrence. Such increases are not accompanied by symptoms, signs, or imaging evidence of locally recurrent or metastatic disease.
A low BUN/Creatinine ratio may be associated with a diet low in protein, a severe muscle injury called rhabdomyolysis, pregnancy, Cirrhosis, or syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). SIADH sometimes occurs with lung disease, cancer, diseases of the central nervous system, and the use of certain medications.
I gave you more info in your personal message.
It is believed that artificially raising the testosterone levels (by taking supplements) can trigger some prostate problems, even prostate cancer. The mechanisms are not clear but for the case of cancer, it is said that suddenly higher testosterone, at levels the orgasnism is not accustomed to, can awaken dormant cancerous cells that otherwise could remain inactive and harmless.
If your dog is neutered, it will stop the levels of testosterone, which could cause prostate swelling and prostate cancer too. It would take a while to max. effect because he'd still have SOME testosterone in his system for a bit. But it would be a quicker option than medication. But it would be a good option only if he's generally in good fitness and condition for his age. The anaesthetic might stress him if he has heart or lung problems, or some other health problem.
This is due to the sensitivity of serum
PSA as a marker for prostate cancer, serial PSA measurements are routinely obtained to detect early disease recurrence in men who have had aggressive primary therapy for localized disease. Usually after prostatectomy we expect the PSA value to decrease to levels below 0.2 ng/mL. In the case of your husband, 0.2 was followed by a 0.3 which makes the possibility of residual disease high.
What is the best treatment for a 76 year old healthy male with localized prostate cancer (PSA 6.38 and Gleason 7)? Urologist wants to do seed implantation and 5 weeks of radiation. I have looked into cyberknife and it seems like a much less invasive and hard procedure. 5 treatments and you're done. Anyone had this treatment?
Likewise, the definition of hormone refractory prostate cancer should not be understood in absolute terms, but rather as a continuum of events related to hormone responses.
I think it is important to continue watching the PSA, getting regular scans, and watching for the symptoms of systematic disease (i.e. bone pain). A clinical resources you can be found here:

Thank you for your question.
s grandfather has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He was dianosed Wednesday of this week. He is 92 years old and his birthday is coming up on June 22. The family is heart broken. Due to his age the doctors are not going to do anything. Can anyone tell us what we can expect and usually how long someone lives from this? My heart goes out to each of you. My God bless you and your families. Susan.....
He’ll prbly end up having to go on hormone therapy to keep the cancer at bay. It doesn’t kill the cancer, it just makes it kind of ‘dormant’ & slows the spread, but can keep men alive for many yrs. The big issue is preventing it from spreading into the bones. There may be some new treatments coming in the next couple of yrs that would be more on the ‘curative’ side, so delaying the spread is worth doing until these more ‘curative’ therapies become available.
Due to his not doing this it turns out that my prostate cancer has moved into the intermediate stage thereby excluding me from having brachytherapy. I have been undergoing a series of test and am taking a new pill which will be followed up by hormone injections beginning next week. Anyway it is not a panic situation. I can go on indefinitely and have no intention on going down without a fight. So much for that. Now I have to get busy an read everything I can here in order to catch up.
I am a 54 yr old and found out less than a year ago I had prostate cancer. My initial PSA was at 27. That's twenty seven. My followup at 90 days rose to 29 and the urologist ordered a biopsy which determined cancer was present in all regions. I had robotic radical prostate to my January 2015. My first PSA test after surgery showed a PSA of .5. My urologist said he had hoped for around .1 but did not seem concerned. I just had my second test after surgery and my PSA has risen to .9.

As we age, many tissues in our bodies become chronically inflamed, resulting in an increased risk of weight gain, diabetes, and cancer. By aiding healthy hormone metabolism and assisting the body to recognize and eliminate stressed cells, we can reduce generalized inflammation and slow the progress of aging-related disorders.
I had a prostate biopsy in 2006. No cancer was detected, but my prostate was found to be 70 g in size, about twice the size as is normal for a man my age (51 at the time). My PSA has fluctuated over the past four years. It went up to 10, my doctor put me on antibiotics and PSA went down to 8.7. Doctor told me that PSA level does not go down if cancer is present. Is this true? I am an avid bicycle rider as well. Urinary symptoms subside when I stop riding for a week or so.
My father was just diagnosed with Prostate cancer. 22.5% total involvement. Gleason score of 8, PSA is 10. He is starting radiation treatment right away. A bone scan and CT is being booked. More than likely one day next week. The doctors have suggested hormone therapy and radiation as opposed to removing the prostate/surgery. They say it is because of his age. Is the surgery a better chance at improvement/length of life than radiation and hormone therapy?
There are several options for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer. These can be stratified into two general categories, hormonal therapy and chemotherapy. It is important to clarify that no treatments can cure advanced prostate cancer. The goal of these treatments is to control the spread and related symptoms.
Hormonal therapy, in broad terms, aims to limit the effect of testosterone in driving the spread of prostate cancer.
Thank you for your question.
