Re: PSA Level of 518 and MRI Results Showing 90% Probability of Prostate Cancer

Bob, Ed,

Thanks for your feedback. I just arrived back from Malaysia.
So for my father treatment, we have discussed with the urologist in Penang and decided on the following:
1. 11.25 Mg Lucrin (Lupron or they call it Tapros in Indonesia) injection every 3 month
2. Everytime the injection is done, Casodex will be consumed continuously for 2 weeks
3. Take vitamin D supplement on a daily basis (Bio Enhanced)

In addition to the above, we will also take the herbal therapy (similar to the one taken by Stephen Taylor, refer to www.cacare.com) and implement strict diet (the aim is to go for vegetarian diet, less processed food and minimum sugar). Every 3 month, we will monitor the PSA level and see whether the hormone therapy needs to be continued or temporarily stopped.

Fortunately the cost of Lupron/Zoladex in Malaysia/Indonesia is much cheaper compared to Singapore (I don't know why the price is Singapore is ridiculously higher, around 3 - 4 times higher) so I can still afford to go for this option.

Best Regards,
Roni
