Regarding losing weight to change the metabolic environment of the body-
Over 4 months I have lost 23 pounds.
I cut out sugar, and reduced carbs. Cut out most processed foods. Now I'm eating avocados, cruciferous veggies, fruits, salads and salmon, etc. And started walking about 1.5 ~ 2 miles a day. I never vomit, and didn't develop an aversion to food. Am not dizzy at all. At 63, I thought I could never lose weight, too lazy, no willpower, etc. But after getting off sugar, that was the key. My willpower increased. Now instead of my greedy gut ruling me and dictating that I eat junk food and candy, I can control my eating habits.
Get off the glycemic rollercoaster!
5 years ago, my PSA spiked to 8.0 (I am on TRT). I was seeing a local urologist, and he wanted to do a needle biopsy. I walked out. Later, I had an MRI that showed BPH. Most men have gotten this message.
Hi, I'm a Stage for Cancer survivor since 5 years. It's rare to find Doctors who understand so well Prostate Cancer. I would like to give you my own testimony. Thanks
Thank you for teaching the science behind cancer in relation to prostate cancer. Every year there is “Mowvember” a fundraiser and educational month on prostate cancer and though people support and talk about detecting cancer, no one asks why cancer would occur or if there is anything a person can do to prevent it. The info presented for “Movember” is minus basic science. People think prostate enlargement and cancer is a normal part of aging. This can help people to not only limit fear but to have enough basic info to make informed decisions.
Always enjoy listening to and learning from Dr McDougall and family.
Dr. McDougall, Santa Rosa cancer patients MISS you!! 🥰 💕Thank you for this episode!! 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏
YES!! 😊
In 2011 when I was 59 my psa was 4. It was suggested I have a biopsy but I went with my gut and decided not to. At my next test a couple years later it was 7.1 but still having no detectable symptoms I still did not get a biopsy. In 2016 my psa jumped to 21.2 and still with no symptoms did not get a biopsy. In 2021 it jumped to 28.4 and still no symptoms and no biopsy. In 2023 it dropped to 26.7 and still no symptoms that’s affecting my quality of life and definitely no biopsy. I’m now 71 with no detectable symptoms that’s affecting my quality of life and highly unlikely to get a biopsy regardless of whatever the psa result says. I have to think at this point that had I gone for a biopsy originally I most certainly would have had multiple biopsies given that my psa kept increasing over the years. I’m left to wonder how might this have affected my quality of life. I may yet get prostate cancer or may already have it but I’m fine with in either case as long as my quality of life is unaffected.
What symptoms do you mean please
@@frederickting1947 probably means reduced urine flow and having to go multiple times a night.
I have to go for a biopsy, what do you recommend me.please anwer me ,if yiu get this message. Thank you
@@ulisesintriago6310McDougall is saying don’t do it. Very clear. There are no up sides and plenty of downsides.
So doc u mean a psa test is not a must just change ur diet tell me because over d yrs i am hearing when u take biospy u are likely to get erectile disfunction reply
John and Mary are so deeply interconnected and it’s quite beautiful to observe.
Thank you for your time!!
Love this couple together.❤️❤️
Thank you John and your family for all the insight and knowledge
But he keeps contradicting himself.
Thank you so much for this important information.
Thank you so much for sharing All your awesome information Dr MCDOUGALL thank you And Mary and Heather for sharing your time with all of us and All your help
Nothing wrong with potatoes. But wow, you missing out on some other things. Can’t happen with me. No ice cream no cake. No Alaskan salmon. Fritters. No way.
Comprehensive report. I had a Psa of 12 4 years ago. Yes I have issues but manageable. Fear is the worst enemy thanks for your report.
Can I ask what your psa is now? I had a psa of 13 and my urologist wants me to do a biopsy. I dont!
Done two Biopsy(1st 3 years ago), not a big deal. They confirmed cancer and now I am 63 on and active surveillance. Biopsy confirms if you have cancer, then you can make further decisions..@@DerekTaylor88
Did you say 12.4 or 124? And how many years ago? Thank you.
Namaste n HappyNewYear to McDougall family from India
Thank you for taking the time to educate us. God bless you
Good Doctor. I appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to spread the information.
Great podcast like all your podcasts are..... l'll be here on Sunday Eve too. Keep preaching the words on good health. I need to know everything you know to survive this journey ❤️
Thank you for teaching us tirelessly ❤! Love this family
These chats keep me motivated and on course. Thank you to the McDougalls for literally beating this information into my head!
He's literally beating you?
Boiled chicken is lovely. So is baked chicken. Fried beef is delicious. No salt (nothing wrong with decent salt anyway) or sauces required. What is he talking about?
My PSA levels were rising and my urologist wanted to set me up for a biopsy. I ask the doctor if there was ant risk to my health and he responded in the affirmative. I also asked him if there was anything I could do to help myself, like diet or exercise. His response was, "No, there's nothing you can do. That's your plot in life and you need to accept it" What? If there's nothing I can do,, why is prostrate cancer so much higher in the US than in other countries? I'm thinking about asking for a different urologist.
Find yourself another doctor - diet and exercise play a crucial role in how the disease develops !
28 needles in my test... Sooooooo painful
Wishing I never had the biopsy
Don't poke the bear
Today I just got back from the urologist over elevated PSA and 4k test. Had the detailed MRI done and it showed nothing of concern except that I had an enlarged prostate which can be attributed to genetics and my age 59. My free PSA score was also good but he still recommended a biopsy to rule out cancer. I told him I want to take the conservative road on this and he understood. I think a lot of doctors in his specialty are aware of the information put out here but out of caution and liability, they go ahead and suggest the biopsy. I am not doing it. I may get prostate cancer and it might kill me but I just have a gut feeling that doing more will do more harm. I'm just very suspicious of the whole cancer "industry" and everyone should do their own research.
Thank you
Dr.McDougall has been saying the SAME thing for over 10 years (that I have been watching him). He has stood the test of time. TRUTH folks!
The traditional PSA has worked well for me. 8 years active surveillance. Now proceeding with treatment before spread the lymph glands. In two months I will be Cancer free.
Active surveillance for 3 years now. When the time comes to treat I will. turn 64 next month. Good luck on your journey,

@lashedbutnotleashed1984 glad it made you an expert on prostate cancer
Thanks! Have a friend who had his prostrate removed. It was discovered thro a high PSA level. His doctor did a biopsy etc. and stated if he had a "Gleason index level" of less than 3 no big deal do nothing. In his case it was at 9 (max 10) and claimed this was fatal. Without the PSA test it would not have been investigated. Hopefully it is all gone.
Some gems there but suggest a good heart to heart with Prof Tim noakes re ur sweeping claims on which diet is best for cancer patients.

SOOOOO GOOD !!!!!!!!!
Happy Newyear to you Heather.
You've this 69 YEAR OLD undivided attention speaking truth to power.
I had Multiple Myeloma in 2022 and under went intensive chemo and radiation followed up by Stem Cell Transplant. As you're aware Myeloma is terminal so, I was put on Chemo maintenance. Which is a needle in the stomach once a month despite the fact that the Myeloma was in remission. I requested a break from the once a month needle as it caused a rash and sore that lasted a week. I also was receiving every six weeks a bone strengthening drug which I also stopped.
Now I'm diagnose with prostate cancer which has elevated to 40.3. They took 14 core samples which they claim are all high risk for cancer. A month later following the biopsy I was informed that it had spread to the left lymph node. Their recommendation is radiation and hormone therapy. Based on my research the quality of life following treatment is not only harmful but a blatant disregard for their HYPPOCRATIC OATH. I would rather be blind, Deaf and Dumb than subject myself to this Cruel and in-humane medical procedure.
Interesting talk. My question is, if you have the prostate removed and then the PSA keeps going back up slowly. (from 0.02 to 0.17 at the moment since 2019) I would like to know what this means and what should I do about it, thank you.
Misled for the same reason we are misled by the US medical profession on most everything. American medical association
What do you think about procedures to relieve bph issues (low flow, going to bathroom 5 times night ) like aquablation
Are digestive enzymes helpful for someone with type one and a half diabetes
Always teaching us the real truth. And most important Dr. McDougall, you're our greatest teacher
I can't listen too much to this versión of the truth, but I would like to say that I am 69 years old and that in my 40's I was diagnosed with prostate cáncer, and told that without surgical treatment I would not have long to live. What happened to me was accute inability to urinate, whatever they call it, it's what I had. They put me on a waiting list and I was urinating, constantly leaking urine into a bag. I refused to submit to surgery and instead I opted for self cathaterization. I stick a tuve into my urethra a d drain my bladder a few times a day. I have a forty something year old girlfriend, I am now 69, and I sleep through the night. No waking up three or four times to go pee. No incontinance, literaly I can't pee unless I introduce the catheter into my urethra and drain my bladder. I run 5 to 6 kilómeters, 2 or 3 times a week, or swim 40 to 60 laps in the Town swiming pool. Should I have had the surgery...? What do You think? I can still have it, but I have had 20 odd years of living, which I could not have had I gone the other way, the surgery way!!
Agree with you brother, I'm canceling my biopsy
@@raymondgross6419 With a PSA of 15 I had a biopsy and the diagnose was chronic protatitis, not prostate cancer. Was very important for me to know.

My husband had his PSA checked every three months because he suffered with enlarged prostate
When he went for his blood work it was elevated to 5.9 he went back two weeks later it was 6.9 he was told to see a urologist, took a month too find a great urologist/oncology hospital he went and had a MRI for a guided biopsy this was three weeks ago it came back out of 18 cores 17 were cancer, he then went for a special pet scan and it showed prostate cancer and it was in three lymph nodes, he is 76 years old, he started hormone therapy and will have radiation, he is lucky and blessed it didn’t travel through the rest of his body, although we wish it was completely contained, we are happy it’s not in lungs, spine, bones…
Heartsick he has to go thru this, but he does have a good prognosis…🙏
I wish that you restricted this video to prostate issues only, All the extra questions would be better suited for different topic videos. It was pretty long, an hour plus, to have to sit through a stream of consciousness on a myriad of subjects. Thank you.
That is a failing of most CZcams videos. Trim, trim, trim, cut out all the excess.
Dr. McDougall died (sudden death) on 6/22/24. My condolences to Mary, the rest of his family, close friends, and the McD team. I would like to know the cause of his death. Maybe, the family will reveal this after the grieving period. 🙏🏻
I eat basically what I want but fasting is the key for me I ease up on foods for a couple of days but do keep up with hydration, Celtic salt in the morning then sip my water with the salt or eat salt first and let it melt on my tongue, removes my phlegm in the throat too!

I am 73 years old and I first saw a urologist who did the examination of the prostate and told me he wanted a PSA. But I had a radiologist do an ultrasound of the abdominal cavity because I was needing to push on my bladder to get pee to come out due to a urinary tract infection my G.P. determined I had.
The radiologist determined there was a kidney stone up in the left area of my left kidney but that it was not obstructing anything and some normal cysts in the liver. All the other organs were normal. My G.P. had given me antibiotics to clear up the urinary tract infection (Amoxicillin that did not work so he then gave me a 72 hour booster antibiotic that didn't work and then he gave me one that did work) to relax the prostate muscles. That made sense (because the prostate was a grade 4 from the radiology report) while I wait for his urologist to come back from vacation for a second opinion.
My G.P had his laboratory do a PSA test and my number was 97.34 and am set up to see my GP's radiologist. My G.P. tells me it can just be BPH or benign prostatic hyperplasia.
The urinary infection went away and for awhile I felt good again, but then it became difficult to urinate again and it is why I decided to get the tests I've mentioned above.
My G.P. has assured me this country of Costa Rica has a CIMA hospital, which is considered the best in all of Central America. He said he thought, given my very large PSA number that his urologist would want me to have an MRI done or possibly a CAT scan.
So, I am now just waiting. I can pee and the medication my G.P. gave me is a targeted medication that only affects the prostate muscles and here it is called Teglinil, which is known as Silodosin 8 mg. I was taking it for awhile, but it gave me constipation, or at least, I think it did, so I stopped taking it and if I drink water regularly I have found I can pee just about as well without taking the Silodosin 8 mg tablet that gives me constipation.
When I got the urinary tract infection from not being able to get out of the car and pee from driving long stretches and also doing long periods of time on a computer chair that was not conducive to use as it continuously hammers the pelvic floor; it is what I think has exacerbated or even potentially caused the prostate gland to grow at a much faster pace.
Since this is a Spanish country everything is in metrics. And, some of the doctors don't speak English. The first doctor I had do my blood work told me I had a 59 and said it in broken English when I asked her about my PSA. I said, "I have a 59 PSA?" She repeated, you have number 59. I looked at it on her screen and saw the number 59 and thought maybe this country doesn't put the decimal point in for PSA's because I couldn't get my head around the number 59., but now I know that first number I got was correct from that doctor.
My PSA before all of the computer work and various other stressors was 6.9 in the states and after I was here it went down to a 6.7 and at one point was a 1.5. But, I have a spinal condition that prevented me from doing my usual long walks and I also stopped eating as well. The computer chair has also raised havoc with my spine, but I have work to do and have tried to find a decent computer chair do no avail here in this country. I ordered one from the states and it didn't work either.
So, now it is a waiting game and am almost definitely sure what the second opinion from the second radiologist will be, which will be to go into a hospital and have an MRI completed of the prostate gland and then after it is completed, the urologist will likely proceed with the next step and I don't know what that next step will be. Thanks for listening and sorry this was so long.
Pls dont dwell on being sick, everything is energy, the more you think about it the more you get sick. What fear of, you attract it. Pls listen to Dr Joe Dispenza and Prof Bruce Lipton to learn about the subconscious mind power, that can heal you.
If you really want to learn about the biology of cancer cell, what triggers cancer pls listen to Prof Thomas Seyfreid on CZcams, he explains everything you need to know about natural therapies, unlike urologist, he does not obey FDA or Big Pharma who is after your money and make you more sick.

Ok, you need to address why fat is considered bad for prostate cancer. The issue is with deuterium. Fats and keto type diets have low deuterium and plants have high deuterium. Lowering your deuterium intake will slower the rate of cell division. Carbahydrates will accelerate it. Consider drinking deuterium depleted water.
Maybe you should consider debating this with Bart Kay. If you can convince people of your arguments with him, then you'll have proved your argument. I doubt you can, but look forward to you trying.
And while you’re at it, debate with Dr. Phinney and Dr. Eric Westman, too!! This should be fun!! 😂
Because money is driving everything. If they've convinced you that it isn't you've already been misled.
Many call it the Cancer Industry.
If meat is a cancer risk how do you explain the lack of cancer in Inuits and the Masai people with meat and fat heavy indigenous diets? How do you explain the "French Paradox" of the French eating more fat? I noticed that Argentina, where more meat per capita is consumed than western countries, has lower risks of prostate cancer. It's carbs, more than meat and fat, which defines cancer risk. We eat less meat today than 100 years ago with more cancer. Carbs and processed food consumption is up but fat and meat is down. Meat has always been a part of a healthy diet for the duration of the whole period of humanity's evolution but carbs are a relatively new addition starting just a few thousand years ago with the cultivation grass seeds.
🍿 NO🚫STARCH 🍞
The trouble with meat today is all the crap they pump into it for fast growth.
Absolutely the truth. Thank you.
This sounds absolutely ridiculous. You need to do more research guy. A starch diet/whole food plant base or Mediterranean is the healthiest diet in the world.
@@lasallelopez2889 I have done best on a low carb diet. Starch is just chains of glucose which breaks down quickly into just glucose elevating insulin release.
I have a psa level of 0.7 six years after prostatectomy. What should I do?
What if the prostate gets so large that urination is severely impeded? Do you recommend surgery then?
Surgery means opening the Pandoras box.
I suggest don't dwell on prostate, think positive that you are healthy, strong & imagine you are able to pee as normal, do Intermittent Fasting, cut out sugar & Carbs, do Intermittent Fasting, exercise, be happy and laugh & laugh, think appreciative & grateful to your body, to Cosmos,, meditate, etc.

What is Cu67, could you pls give a little information? Thanks.
@@Bilge-Tekin Google Clarity Pharmaceuticals. PC is not the only thing they are going after iirc.
@@Bilge-Tekin One thing I do know, Cu64 is used for scaning, and Cu67 is used for treatment in a similar manner to Pluvicto but the radio ligands use a double bond to the cell, and last far longer. Cu67 can be made in a cyclotron, no particle accelerator is needed..... so availability will not be a problem.
I would not treat cancer with cancer causing radiation. If the PSA is completely zero I would think the prostate is completely destroyed by the treatment.

per several specialists skip the biopsy and do an MRI
As someone aged 52 with stage 3 prostate cancer I can say this video is highly missleading. Prostate cancer kills thousands of men each year. I have a 50% chance of reaching retirement. I wish they had caught mine sooner.
Totally agree. You can’t stick your head in the sand. The PSA is a valuable tool. Prostate cancer is increasing in numbers. My father died recently at 69. He was diagnosed at 65. With treatment dead 4 years later.He never fasted. He ate dairy every night in the late evening. He was skinny and non smoker, non drinker. He ate lots of meat. Know your genes.
Just had psa 93. Would you have biopsy?
Do prostate biopsies cause cancer cells to spread throughout the body? I was peeing blood for 2 weeks, & yes it was pretty disturbing.
Lastly, it seems that some people experienced great results with low carb / high fat diet, even carnivore diet, so I'm a bit surprised with tye recomandation of a plant based diet, with load of fructose...
Prostate cancer unlike others is not affected by sugar in the diet, but animal fats do encourage growth of the cancer, hence a plant based diet is preferable.
I am mid 60s, enlarged prostate, PSA 0,53. Does that mean I am one if the few lucky ones?
When people ask for a blood test why aren't cancer markers tested for. It would save money since chemo is extremely expensive.

If the fact that mother's milk is 30% sugar doesn't get the attention of low carbers, I don't know what will.

ok so no PSA test, what should you do to detect prostate cancer?
Don't do any test, dont dwell on you being sick otherwise you feed it with fear energy, people die from complications of the wild treatments, i.e. chemo, radiation, surgery, and hormone therapy before cancer. Just do intermittent fasting, cut out glucose and processed foods, hormone laden meat and diary foods, change your life style, exercise, love yourself, etc
Excellent work

@@bruceharkness4497 that's only if prostate cancer is suspected
@@bruceharkness4497 Nope, that's at a later stage
This is a misleading prostate cancer discussion. A PSA blood test is a great way to gauge your risk. I had a PSA of 13.7 in January of 2023. A biopsy in March 2023 confirmed the cancer. I had no ED issues after the biopsy and it wasn't even discussed as a side effect before I had it. That was followed by a PSMA PET scan that confirmed the likely cancer, then I had a prostatectomy in June 2023 that found metastatic disease with a Gleason score of 3+4 = 7 and spread to several lymph nodes and adjacent areas. I have not started treatment yet 8 months after my prostatectomy. The erectile nerves were spared during the prostatectomy and that is what takes time to recover from. At least a year from what I've read. My ED recovery gets better by the week. My PSA is climbing quickly though and I'm considering hormone therapy with radiation
You talk about diet that stops prostrate cancer. But is there evidence that the diet can reduce a swollen prostrate?
I have a good friend who is basically on the carnivore diet. She is in and out of hospital several times a year with colon issues. Every time they investigate for something new - IBS, gastroparesis, small bowel this or that, etc. she tells all the doctors she eat very healthy, very clean. And by that she means meat, meat, meat and a few berries (I put more on my oatmeal than she eats as a serving) and a few veggies. It is a tragedy as she does spend a lot of time reading about health and she wants to be healthy, there is a lot of pseudoscience out there. She is convinced of the health of the carnivore diet.
It’s more than likely not the meat, but preexisting medical conditions that she had that have taken its toll - or years of a really bad diet.
My family is The biggest health experiment. All, except me and my youngest brother, eat a meat base diet. Rest of family have seen stroke, heart atk, hyper thyroidism, hypertension, severe lower backpain and gout. Healthy plant-based diet and exercise the way to go. 👍
Dr McDougall I would love to see you and Dr Ken Berry having a friendly debate concerning both your eating plans. I've been watching both your videos with an open mind and so far have been following the keto diet which seems to be a better choice for the environment in my opinion. Way too many pesticides used in the vegan or even starch based diets not to mention the chemicals used to fertilize the ground they're grown in. Animals fertilize the earth that feeds them naturally as well as watering it with their urine , therefore water given to them is being recycled.
230 pound Ken Berry with 2 disciplinary actions against him since he can't follow rules shows how eating his diet makes him all confused with his poor thinking. In the 2019 Ken Berry book page 103 says nuts and seeds are very healthy, the nutrients and fiber are great. Page 187 says I eat many servings of colorful veggies every day. Page 192 says there are many days each week I eat no fiber at all. Page 205 says I often go days without eating anything but fatty meat cooked in either lard or butter. There are no references in the book perhaps because he never read any studies.
You don’t have to use any pesticides to eat vegan, also most animals are raised by feeding them crops with pesticides. You’re not gonna have less problems adding meat to a diet that has only plants
@@l21n18 The most pesticides are given to crops for human food since humans don't like bugs on their food that they buy in a public supermarket. Much less pesticides are given to farm animals because they don't care about bugs and the insects are good for them to eat so you have it backwards. The people who grow as much as possible their own omnivore food on their own property consume the best food for their health and the environment with the least or zero pesticides.
@@l21n18 Unless you are growing fruits and vegetables in your back yard they are loaded with pesticides and if you are growing them in your back yard what are you using for fertilizer, cow manure or chemical fertilizer which ends up in our lakes and rivers every time it rains and therefore into our drinking water
Whole food plant based with sprouts are awsome😊
Hello SC, are you saying if I have prostate problem, I just need to stop eating any kind of meat, and just depend on vegetables and nut diet
I enjoy you so much doctor McDougall! I truly wish there was a way that a 40+ doctor could do a debate with people like steak and butter gal and Shawn Baker, etc.. they’re leading people in such a horrible direction. It’s truly a concern.
dr. Peter Rogers (a follower of starch diet himself) has put down the glove for any carni or omni to come debate him, so far no takers.
@@11235Aodh of course.. no need to wonder why. Whether for the animals, health, the environment or spiritual reasons, plant based is the only thing that makes sense.
Leave Steak&Butter Gal out of it.
I think Dr. Baker is doing the right thing! Study his work through!

If prostate is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths, why are men being told to not get their PSA tested? Yes of course the diet is a prime culprit. But once a man has disease advanced enough for a elevated PSA that is continuing to trend upward, treatment can save his life. One PSA test reveals little, but regular ones can find detect the disease before it has spread/ metastasized. Once it has it becomes lethal in a short time. Also, perineal biopsy is now available, without the risks of the traditional biopsy described here. MRI guided is standard now too-far superior to shooting in the dark as in the past.
Change your diet, sure. Get in better health overall, especially with exercise even better. But refusing testing because of the side effects of possible treatment down the road is insane. The prostatectomy is old medicine and on the way out. Modern radiation is superior in several ways. Better treatments are coming, no one can pretend the current ones don't have consequences. However, ask anyone who has loved a man who's died of this disease what it's like before you trust the kale and fruit will save you.

I think they might have been called wet nurse .
I hope men don’t take this as gospel and ignore their urologists advice. I am alive today because of early detection. It is easy for people to recommend you do this or that when it isn’t THEIR cancer! Like I said, find a good physician and pay attention to what they say. Challenge them, but don’t let the internet chart your journey for you.
I think he meant" healthy" vessels don't break.He said sick vessels initially.
Thank you gör helping people. I think Keto almost killed me. Dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea ~ strokes multiple and three heart attacks also carotid arteries blocked and stented also heart and carotid have to get other one done. In a month or so. I am only 66
How did keto do this?
@@johnszish581It didn’t.
Its just sad that so many , apparently good doctors say completely different things. So, fat is bad for cancer, but cancer specialist Thomas Seyfried says that because cancer runs on glutamin and sugar, fat is necessary as it cannot be fermented. Someone is either lying, grossly incompetent , but they are letting people down thas for sure.
I’m going with Dr Seyford,it makes more sense
Prostate cancer differs from others in that is unaffected by sugar, but is encouraged to grow by animal fats in the diet.
My PSA test result was a 13+ and the FSH was similar. I'm in the process of reduction of possible culprits such as exercise, ejaculation, etc. Went for a follow up with a local clinic and the new PSA result was 15+. Of course, the urologist immediately suggests a biopsy. I in turn suggest an Exo test which is a urine test for cancer. What say you?
I feel your pain. I went through the same thought process. I've just turned 60. Learning that I had prostate cancer was my birthday gift last month (Dec. 2023). I tried to get the Exo urine test too. I didn't want to have biopsy. I did fight to get an MRI but it came back with a score of PI-RADS 5. My PSA was 64 in Nov. 2023 and 81 in Dec. 2023. When your PSA is over 10 the Urologist is not going to mess around with the Exo test since you are now going to be in the intermediate to high risk level. Their experience tells them that you need a biopsy AND even I doubted it and I was one of those that never wanted a biopsy. But after the MRI I was easily convinced to go ahead and get the biopsy and it came back with 11 of 12 cores positive for cancer at 70-90% of each core sample malignant. Luckily I was under general anesthesia during the process. Now just 40 days later I've had a PSMA Pet Scan (scans body for metastasis), CT scan, and a Nuclear Medicine Whole Body bone scan. Never in the world did I think I would go through such things. I went along begrudgingly and the fact that I have prostate cancer was surreal to me for many days. The reality is hitting home hard now. I have a weak urine stream, dribble, hesitation, and progressing ED. I thought it was "normal aging". it's best to get it before it metastasizes however in my case the doc says "this thing has gotten ahead of us. years ahead of us." I would do your research, learn about the treatment options (there are so many). You'll have to do a lot of research and educate yourself to become an informed patient and be able to advocate for your own treatment. Best of luck. I am leaning towards the CyberKnife procedure since it is the most accurate of the photon radiation treatments, it's higher doses, and only 5 treatment sessions. Lots to learn and not a road that is very fun. But lots of us out here having to go through this in order to find ways to prolong our life and hopefully die of something else. Without treatment I was given "about 5 years" to live. All the best to you! Curt
@curtisroberts503 After 5 years, you will die. Why did you even have all those procedures performed?
Very similar situation. PSA is currently 13. I have BHP and was unable to urinate (wore a catheter for 6 months (no fun) had PAE done a year ago. Procedure worked and shrank my prostate from 110cm to 65cm. Was able to urinate . All seemed good. Had a follow up MRI last month .Came back with a PIRAD score 4.Doc said Biopsy needs to be done immediately..I been hesitant. I've read about a 4k score blood test thats way less invasive. He's sticking with biopsy.. I've stated Joe Tippens Protocol with fenbedazole along with other supplements , soursop-essiac tea ,black seed oils & others. Is EXO test similar to the 4k?
@@curtisroberts503 I truly wish you well. Have you looked into the Joe Tippens Protocol with fenbendazole? Lot of interesting stuff out there with success stories for prostate cancer & other types of cancer!
If you rule out infection (inflammation) and BPH .. you should do biopsy to check what you are dealing with…. Knowing what you are dealing with, then you can fix it…
I was wondering why it had hit the headlines again recently?
Was Lloyd Austin caught up in the conflict in Ukraine and injured?
I wish she'd stop interrupting.
Seed implant is the best way to go don't need to get cut on.
I think toxoplasmosis loves meat and sugar but not vegtables so much.
It is biopsy good for the prostate....? I am disappointed my doctor decided to take a biopsy I had no choice I have allowed the doctor to do it I didn't know any better I trusted him the doctor did it in his office took 12 pieces off my prostrate because he had to send it to the lab for the results now I feel so nervous that I let my doctor to allow him to do the biopsy I feel like the doctor damaged my my prostate for the worst
One question I have it's biopsy of this kind good for prostate now I regrets I feel like taking 12 pieces off my prostrate destroyed my prostate getting worse
PSA..15 ..had biopsy no cancer...My erections are fine
Tell those with the risk of fast growing Prostate Cancer to follow these two! No Way!
I’m only twenty minutes in, but I think what they’re saying is:
if you don’t get psa test and/or biopsy; most men don’t get prostate cancer, the ones that do don’t have aggressive. Thus most men will usually die of something else even though some do eventually die of prostate cancer.
It’s a risk reward type scenario. They do catch some but at what cost and what lifelong side-effects do they suffer.
Light at the end of the tunnel.
>>Undetectable levels of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) have been reported from the first patient with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) to ever receive two cycles of Clarity’s 67Cu-SAR-bisPSMA at the 8GBq dose level. PSA is a marker of tumour burden, clinical response to treatment and an indicator of the recurrence of disease for prostate cancer.
Nothing about iodine????
So please answer this question: What would you tell the almost 35,000 men that died last year from prostate cancer? Would they not be alive today had they acted on their high PSA scores, followed by a biopsy? Are you saying Gleason scores are irrelevant? Mine was 4+3=7, my decipher score was .96, was this irrelevant? Should i have done nothing? With all due respect, I don't know what your message is here, and you're kind of all over the map with your presentation. What people need to learn more than anything, is how to make an formed decision based on all available information associated with their respective condition. A response would be sincerely appreciated, thank you!
What's a decipher score? What decision did you make after your diagnosis?
Decipher is a genomic test of your pathology following a biopsy. It determines the risk of metastasizing on a scale of zero to one, one being the highest (worst). Mine was very high at .96 which lead me to get a PSMA PET exam and bone scan. I chose HDR brachytherapy, followed by five weeks of low dose IMRT external beam radiation which I just completed last week. I formed the opinion after conducting a great deal of research that this was the best course of action for me, coupled with my age (66), verses a radical prostatectomy. @@CriticalTimez
Can anyone give a summary of the main points? It's pretty long
14:48 Why didn’t he present a study to support the key statement that watchful waiting is equivalent in survival with prostatectomy or radiation for all cases? From what I’ve read that isn’t true. dangerous misinformation
If a woman offloads her chemical toxins into her breast milk, is there something that women can do to reduce her body’s toxins before conception if she wasn’t eating heathy vegan food originally?
I think most of the time you are best getting on with it I have a tumor I wouldn't get a biopsie was goin to, all ready to go to theatre, an they said they couldn't do it they didn't know I had my voice box removed , with cancer so would not give u much faith in them .
