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.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
I have read somewhere that Tippens protocol works for 20% of cases. I’m sure there is no study for this but keep an open mind to traditional treatment if his plan is not working. I’m on Tippens now but also have surgery and radiation on the table if it’s not left the prostate.
Thanks for the replies Liz and Bill. I wish your partner and you all the best and positive outcome. I was diagnosed age 48, had prostatectomy and no recurrence - I'm now 65. Just updated my story
