Example of one of the longest living mets patients...Dr.___?
That would be Dr. Fred Lee inventor of cyro surgery method, expert color doppler sonographer and long term PCa survivor himself. We are talking 25 years total of known mets (25 yrs.), incredible and he is 80 yrs. old and still practicing medicine in Michigan 2 days a week. He takes or did take emcyt (estrogenic for his control)...hhhmmmm...most docs think it is junk too! (most likely I should say).
Google search his story: as 'Dr Fred Lee prostate cancer story' the link is something like www.rochesterurology...---
My PCa support group local meeting by my open mined onco-doc, had Dr. Bob Baladament guest speaker, he is friends with Dr. Lee and is the writter of his google searched piece I mentioned on his history/case. He stated Dr. Lee is 25 years of known mets in PCa...probably historical to some degree, how many mets patients are 25 yrs. and still going.
I find it fascinating his drug choice...know anyone else using this???? How many docs would prescribe it?
Is it wise to go outside the box in PCa???? Are their patients whom have this pioneer spirit?? You decide!

Read about emcyt (estramustine) (capsules):
cost in Canada in USA dollars (cheaper source than USA) Costs: 140 mg 100 count= $300
200 ct. $550
Read about emcyt at:
www.hrpca.org (Proven Treatments tab and read on)
Very interesting no Lupron or LHRH and such on his journey that we know of, is that a clue? I find that real interesting, I doubt he flipped a coin when choosing this (LOL).
