Seeking Opinion and Advice.

[risn2theoccasion2]

I am hoping to get some advice and opinion on my situation. Gents and ladies feel free to reply or PM based on any experience you might have had, either personally or with a friend or family member.

I found out 2 weeks I have Prostate Cancer, Stage 1B. I have read up on and researched the surgical options, and frankly, I don't see much benefit. The potential side effects and end results don't offer much quality of life afterward. I have been told I might not see much of a change for several years, then again, things could get rough in a matter of months. There has been some discussion about radiation treatments too.

So if you have any insight or experience with this, please share with me. I have been through a lot of crap in the past 2 years, so interestingly enough, I am at peace with this. I'm pretty much alone at this point in my life, although I know my daughter and son will be here for me. Thanks in advance. Post or PM. Blessings to all.

Damn brother. Sorry to hear this. I’m here for ya man. Let me know if I can help.

[Lovinglifeinaustin]

I’m so sorry Risn. My understanding is that stage 1 is treatable. If I was in your place I would do what I could do to beat it. I’m sure your children would appreciate you fighting it and providing them with many more good years of memories.

Best wishes brother.

Gentle Hug for Empathy & Support

Many prostate cancers are less than full on aggressive.

The Gleason score is an indicator of how slowly or quickly the cancer may spread.

1B is a very low indicator.

Urologists/oncologists usually will recommend that the patient assess all potential treatments in consideration of other major health conditions.

Often the prostate cancer's growth may be so slow that another more serious illness is expected to end life way before the prostate cancer might.

imo, best to consult second and even third oncology/urology specialists before committing to any treatment.

And, frankly, surgical options should be among the last courses of treatment considered.

Less invasive treatment, for example, should be the early options, especially if there is no family history of prostate cancer.

webmd.com has some very good explanations/discussions imo.

Stay upbeat and best of luck in beating the beast.

My thoughts are with you. CK is right, this is beatable.

Aw man that’s rough.

Take good care if yourself.
Not medical advice just self care advice.
Enjoy your lifestyle but add to it by drinking lots of water and incorporating greens and fruits (juiced if needed).
Talk to yourself about your greatness and health. Take time to meditate and remind yourself you are healthy and strong.

My father beat stage 2 prostate cancer following an alkaline diet and using cannabis oil. If you're interested, I'd be happy to ask him specific details.

Wow
Was not expecting to feel so proud of our OH2 family when I logged on.
Some really sound advice here,especially from CK.
And nice expressions of support.
I would not discount Roksana,as cannabis oil has killed cancer cells in labs. And her dad's experience lends validity.
Thanks all.
And best wishes,Rise.
I have always appreciated your gentlemanly posts.

Thank you all for the support. I am truly grateful for the public, and many Private messages of encouragement. I am seriously looking at "The Oil", and dietary changes as a natural way of dealing with this. I have had that suggested several times. I have an avenue in which I can obtain the products I need. I have family that travels to California and Colorado for their media business. I would love information on any nutritional supplementation that would promote a positive change. Thank again to each and every one of you.

Right now I plan to continue doing what I have been doing. This is a good excuse to start knocking out all the items on that Bucket List.

I love to hear anecdotal evedence like this!

I personally believe in “quackery” healing but I’m always cautious about how I deliver info.

Story’s like this really affirm how much diet and water and cannabidiol can keep the body good.

Personally I like to indulge in all kinds of foods & some vices but I get my water and nutrients in my body almost every day.

Thanks for sharing this.
