This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Re: How strange can HT therapies and results get? Just as strange as the disease-No Rules applies
I thought I posted that link prior:

Dr. Premoli on estrogen patches & DES: www.pcainaz.com/Pages?ETE_eng.pdf
*docs make alot of money on LHRH drugs like Lupron and don't generally bother to go and look over all these 2nd line drugs, but might, but also oncologist do look at most everything for PCa control in their patients. Rarely will any hospital endorse using these drugs: eulexin, nilandron, avodart, proscar, ketoconazole, DES, emcyt, estradiol patches or gels, leukine,thalidomide, and some others. They do heavily endorse Lupron (mostly), sometimes casodex, definitively chemo drugs (very profittable too).
Watch some of Snuffy Myers videos on 2nd line hormone therapies, very enlightening as to what can be achieved in patients and himself with PCa still doing excellent around yr. 10-12??? now.
