What are the odds of surviving Gleason 9 prostate cancer at age 56?

Posted by admin on Feb 20, 2010 under Prostate Cancer PSA Level

A friend of mine, who is 56 years old, was just diagnosed with prostate cancer. He has a pretty advanced case, gleason grade 9 and I think a PSA under 10. His dad died of prostate cancer. The doctors are worried because a year ago, he was tested and had extremely low PSA levels, but now they are much higher. This could be a sign of aggression. They don’t know if it has spread yet. His doctor has recommended surgery in Seattle.
Has anyone gone through this? Can anyone tell me what the likelihood is that he will be OK?
Oh, just found out the PSA last year was 2 and now is 5.

The Gleason score "grades" tumors on the basis of how abnormal they look when the tissue is examined under a microscope. The more abnormal they look, the more likely they are to grow fast and to spread to other parts of the body. A grade of less than 4 generally means that cancer cells look similar to normal cells. Grades 5 to 7 fall under the intermediate range. Grades 8 to 10 indicate aggressive growth. survival rate is an average of 5 years.i would have a second opinion,and maybe some more tests such as a cat scan,bone scan(this shows what is called (hot spots) to show advancement and a biopsy to examine types.the grading can get complicated what you do need to ask is what his T-score is or TNM this tells basically if a primary Tumor Localized) n is for spread into lymph Nodes (regional)and M Metastatic into other bones(stage 4) or organs.then life expectancy is calculated for each stage. let me know what his Tscore is and email me with any other facts or test results. the best thing you can do is support your friend on his choices and through his recovery.

Is a hard prostate necessarily a sign of cancer?

Posted by admin on Feb 17, 2010 under Prostate Cancer PSA Level

Someone I know went in for checks after a bad urinary tract infection. They were sent for tests for bladder cancer and a bleeding growth was found in the bladder. They also checked his prostate, it didn’t hurt and they said it seemed very hard, but made no reference to irregularities or bumps.

A transurethral resection of the bladder was scheduled, and when they went in for the op, whatever the problem had been in the bladder was now gone, so it was written off as relating to the UTI.

However, while they were in they did a transurethral resection of the prostate, and removed a section of it because it had enlarged and was causing lots of pressure on his urethra. They said he had a high PSA level, but he also had a reoccurence of a UTI by this point.

No mention was made then or since of hardness or bumpiness, and we are currently waiting on the test results for it (day 12 of waiting now)

I am really praying it could turn out to be BPH or another problem.

It most certainly could be BPH. My father-in-law had a very high PSA at one point and had to undergo 12 prostate biopsies and all came back negative but the wait was terrible. He really only had to wait a day or two but it seemed like an eternity. BPH seems to be very common now days so I wouldn’t call it "cancer" yet. Best wishes. Please post the results to the person with the "best answer" so we all will know if your friend is okay. He’s in my prayers. : )

Prostate Cancer Prognosis after radical prostectomy that left micro cells. When I am 80 dont want pain.?

Posted by admin on Feb 15, 2010 under Prostate Cancer PSA Level

I had a aggressive cancer grow in my prostate. The prostate was removed in surgery, but four or five years later a doctor found a PSA level of 11. He convinced me to go on Lupron (sp?) which is a hormone to get rid of all testosterone in body and cut off food supply to any microscopic cancer cells in my body. Several tests have shown no sign of cancer cells before or after the every-three month injections began and PSA went down from 11 to 3.

Now, the doc sort of casually mentioned that score is good, but the hormone treatment only works for 10 years. After leaving the office, I thought, this guy just gave me eight years to live. Now that is not like being told you have a month to live like in the movies, but it is not too long.

What happens then? Does prostate cancer start growing all over my body? In the bones? Will it require chemo and radiation and will I have extreme pain from this cancer if it gets in the bones? That is what I am wondering and wondering how to end it all

.. I had prostate cancer in 2005 and had Proton Radiation to cure the cancer.. Proton Radiation has no side effects and a 90% cure rate.. It has no pain or any thing.. I was not sick one single day during or after my treatments.. Proton Radiation is very different from conventional radiation… in that 90 % of the treatment energy is released exactly at the point needing to be treated.. therefore other tissues and organs are not damaged.. there fore you have no side effects.. When I was getting my treatments several people were there getting Proton Radiation who had had surgery and been on lupron.. and several were in their 80s I think Proton Radiation is the very best Prostate cancer treatment available..

There is a website that tells about Proton Radiaton.. it is called PROTON BOB..(BOB stands for brotherhood of the balloon) Go to the website and be sure and read Patient Testiamonials.. from former patients.. you will see what I am talking about.. My first doctor wanted to give me lupron also.. said I could live 10 years and that it had no side effects.. that was a lie I started having hot flashes real fast.. I met one fellow when I was having my treatments and he had been taking lupron for 7-8 years and it caused him to walk all bent over… he said.. ostioprosis … I think said He was 85-86 and other wise in good health… There is also a new book out called YOU CAN BEAT PROSTATE CANCER, written by Robert J. Marckini.. a prostate cancer survivor.. it is great any one with prostate cancer should have it.. It can be purchased at the Proton Bob website, barnes and noble etc..If you are in good health other than the prostate cancer, personally I would sure consider Proton Radiation.. Medicare pays for it.. I took my treatments at Loma Linda Universty Medical Center.. however it is now offerded at 4-5 other locations in the US.. MD Anderson in houston just opened a facility for it.. Lots of doctors dont recommend it because they still think it is experimental, dont know about it, dont understand it.. or it just a pure money thing.. If they dont treat you the way they know how and send you some place else, they dont make any money for the Mercedes payment.. That was the case with the one who wanted to give me Lupron.. I later found out that was the only treatment he used.. was all he knew!!! and he made money selling the lupron.. sad deal… Id be willing to bet if you could have Proton Radiation.. you will be fine.. my psa is now.12.. thats point one three…go to the PROTON BOB website..read it.. especially the Patient Testimonial section.. If you have any questions.. please feel free to email me here on yahoo questions.. I allow emails.. I will even be glad to call and talk to you about my Proton Radiation experiece.. dont throw in the dang towell yet… !!! have a great day. Also I met guys who had PSAs of 50-100 and were cured with Proton Radiaton…. You can probably find some who had that sort of PSAs on the Proton Bob website… Proton Radiation cures the cancer.. and lupron sort of puts it on hold for a while.. hope I have helped.. contact me if you have questions.. again have a good day I read your question again.. I thought you were in your 80s now but your not..man you need Proton Radiation and get your problem taken care of.. If you can get it.. its like being on a 9-10 week vacation.. plus just remember 90% cure rate and little to NO side effects.. its the only way as far as im concerned..

Triple Defense 60 Capsule

Posted by admin on Feb 14, 2010 under Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

Triple Defense 60 Capsule

Triple Defense is a unique combination of nutrients that may help the body in the fight against cancer. Various laboratory studies performed using ingredients found in Triple Defense have shown beneficial effects in breast, colon, skin, liver bladder and lung cancer. They suggest that these ingredients may also be beneficial in the relief and risk reduction of these cancers in humans. Human clinical studies are currently being conducted including a Phase I trial at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center with women at high risk for breast cancer. This study is in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute at the National Institute for Health. Soy Isoflavones have exhibited properties that suggest they may help to lower the risk of cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, and for the relief of menopause symptoms such as hot flashes. They may help reduce the risk of several types of cancer, including breast, lung, colon, rectal and prostrate cancer. Calcium D-glucarate may enhance the bodys capacity to resist many types of carcinogens and toxins and has been shown to inhibit cancer in laboratory animals in over 30 published cancer research journals. One of the major detoxification pathways in our bodies is called glucoronidation. It is a chemical reaction where the body combines a water-soluble substance in the body with a toxin or carcinogen and removes it from the body. D-glucarate has been shown to inhibit the enzyme responsible for reversing glucoronidation, improving the likelihood that normal detoxification processes may continue. Lycopene is the most efficient scavenger of singlet oxygen of all the common carotenoids and is able to quench free radicals twice as efficiently as beta-carotene. Current research suggests that lycopenes powerful antioxidant activity confers a high degree of protection against cholesterol oxidation, a process believed to influence prostate cancer. By-products of the oxidation
