So here is the problem. I have dismissed Surgery completly and that leads me to Radio Therapy as the only available conventional medical alternative. My Oncologist want me to have Hormone Treatment to:

• a: Slow the Growth of the Cancer cells by (basically) chemically castrating me. Ouch!
• b: Shrink the Prostate down to a smaller target for his magic Death Ray.

I didn't want to do that with Hormone treatment, but can appreciate why he wants to do that. So I'm looking into all types of Natural and Alternative medications. The best I have come up with is PawPaw (Papaya) as there have been quite a few studies with very promising reasults, PLUS it has been Continue reading Prostate Cancer Diary - My Natural Alternative]]> http://www.davidfoard.com/prostate-cancer-diary-my-natural-alternative/feed/ 0 http://www.davidfoard.com/my-personal-prostate-cancer-treatment-options http://www.davidfoard.com/my-personal-prostate-cancer-treatment-options#comments Fri, 03 Feb 2012 04:49:19 +0000 David http://www.davidfoard.com/?p=1786 Prostate Treatments and Me.

An 'Average' prostate is about 40mm - about the size of a small Plum - Continue reading My Personal Prostate Cancer Treatment Options]]> http://www.davidfoard.com/my-personal-prostate-cancer-treatment-options/feed/ 0 http://www.davidfoard.com/who-are-the-innocent-victims-of-prostrate-cancer http://www.davidfoard.com/who-are-the-innocent-victims-of-prostrate-cancer#comments Wed, 07 Dec 2011 01:25:55 +0000 David http://www.davidfoard.com/?p=1774 'Personal Prostate Journey' and was pleasantly surprised by the comments and messages sent to me. So thank you all - I appreciate it. But the one thing that caught me off guard was the WAY it has effected others in my family. The general consensus was 'ouch' or 'shit' or some other expletives too bad to mention here - but you get the idea. However it was strange from my point of view to sort of accept it as a 'fait accompli' when others reacted differently. One member of my immediate family came rushing to see me, while another has not mentioned it to me at Continue reading Who Are The Innocent Victims of Prostrate Cancer?]]> http://www.davidfoard.com/who-are-the-innocent-victims-of-prostrate-cancer/feed/ 0 http://www.davidfoard.com/my-personal-prostate-journey http://www.davidfoard.com/my-personal-prostate-journey#comments Fri, 25 Nov 2011 05:31:24 +0000 David http://www.davidfoard.com/?p=1721 Continue reading My Personal Prostate Journey]]> http://www.davidfoard.com/my-personal-prostate-journey/feed/ 2 http://www.davidfoard.com/kathrine-and-the-realm-of-holes http://www.davidfoard.com/kathrine-and-the-realm-of-holes#comments Tue, 15 Nov 2011 23:28:43 +0000 David http://www.davidfoard.com/?p=1514 Continue reading KATHRINE AND THE REALM OF HOLES]]> http://www.davidfoard.com/kathrine-and-the-realm-of-holes/feed/ 0
