It looks like a bottle of red wine a day didn't keep him
from getting PCa, so I can't believe it cured him.

The story implies that, perhaps, he was fine until he
stopped drinking.  Then two months later he was diagnosed
with metastatic cancer and a PSA of 1500.

However, we know that prostate cells divide only once every
56 days (I've got that right don't I?)  So in two months, if
every single cell divided and every single daughter cell
survived, the tumor burden could have doubled in two months,
but not increased more than that.  He had to have had advanced
metastatic cancer before he stopped drinking.

One never knows what to do with stories like this.  Is he
a charlatan?  A troll?  A self-deluded person, possibly due
to alcoholism?  Did he write this story in order to convince
his wife that it was okay to go back to the bottle?  Did the
new hormone therapy help him much more than the previous
therapy?  Did he have a spontaneous remission?

Stories like this are one of the reasons why we need scientific
studies and not anecdotes as guides to medical treatment.

I think you folks are misreading the story (it's that British humour
thing again). Nowhere does he say that the wine was suppressing the
cancer or is part of his current remission (which is clearly caused by
the HT). He's making a little joke about the booze, that's all. Lighten
up, guys!
