Symptoms of prostate cancer include:

• A need to urinate frequently, especially at night
• Difficulty starting urination
• Inability to urinate
• Weak or interrupted flow of urine (dribbling)
• Painful or burning urination
• Painful ejaculation
• Blood in urine or semen
• Frequent pain or stiffness in the back, hips, or upper thighs.

 

 

I've had the first 4 of those since I was about 9 years old!

 

On a serious note though, good luck to Bob.I admire all those on this thread that have the courage to come on here and talk about these things. For those of us that have never been seriously ill, I think we take our health for granted. Its important for us all to remember that anyone of us can become ill very quickly.

 

This terrible disease will affect all of us (directly or indirectly) at some point in our lives. Thank you for reminding us to keep an eye on these things.

Best of luck with the vit C treatment. Not something I have heard of before and I work in medical science but makes interesting reading.

Bob your positive attitude will help speed you recovery and after your first few posts I was going to suggest looking at alternative therapies. I've been reading some stuff about Boswellia (its frankincense) the are some studies that link it to helping with certain cancers, maybe worth a google as it seems to have limited side effects and a low interaction with other medication?

Good Luck with everything Racing Bob, and I agree with the whole if in doubt get it checked idea. I have had a few issues on that front and its a crap time and difficult to remain positive. I thought I was invincible up until I was about 40, then the wheels come off and you realise anybody can be vulnerable to illness.  Wishing you all the best for the future.

Falls into the category of "we don't have enough data yet" https://www.nhs.uk/n...abs-and-cancer/

 

 

but then if it's your own life on the line, 6 grand isn't much to try your luck.

saw oncologist other day said nothing they can do for me if don't want chemo and struggling with the hormone therapy 're my fibromyalgia. spoke to the nurse at the dove clinic where booked in for vit c iv she said have had good outcomes for both fibro and prostate cancer or works better on some cancers than others. if your 50 plus I suggest ( or younger) make sure your vit d is at least 100 nmol mine was only 22 severely difficiient can lead to prostate cancer and something else to take to prevent is pomi-t. wish I had known this before

Damn near everyone in the country could do with more vit d. It requires sun on skin so people should definatly take more sunshine holidays in winter for health purposes.

Linus Pauling is where this Vitamin C theory all came from, he was ridiculed at the time but there is increasing interest in his claims these days.

 

Here is an article about Vitamin C megadoses

It all sounds a bit sketchy but in the absence of any other treatment why not? At least it's not making him sick or worse. My Girlfriend had to make a similar decision, it was her second go around with cancer and could/would not go the chemo route again. So decided that holistic pain meds and a better life until the end, a courageous decision and one I hope I would make if it came to it.

This Phillip Day??

I'd be VERY cautious about taking advice from a man like that.

 

Day often cites anecdotes and hearsay as evidence for efficacy, and cherry picks web media from locations as reputable and rigorously reviewed for accuracy as YouTube.

Despite claiming to be a science journalist, he has no formal background in any scientific discipline. Day's qualifications are limited to the realm of sales and marketing.

don't want to get into a debate about philip day I like him and his info

[r3k1355]

If he starts trying to get you taking Laetrile of Vitamin B-17 please ignore him, it doesn't work and you will die.

 

Also total ******* any competent oncologist is going to be ringing him, despite what he might claim.
