ANTIFUNGAL DRUG STOPS BLOOD VESSEL GROWTH

Hi Steve,  got some new numbers for you. Current psa is 1.1. After a
long discussion with my doctor, I am not going back on Lupron at this
time as was originally decided when I went hormone refractory back 6+
months ago.  At that time we agreed that my "vacation" from Lupron ...

Here is a selection from a NYT article:
After his annual physical, a middle-age man is told that his PSA level has
jumped to 2.3 after having been stable for years at 1.5. Should he be
alarmed?

We got Allen's test results back today (bone scan and CT Scan) and both
were "unremarkable."  From what Steve said earlier, I wasn't surprised or
relieved.  Since Allen's PSA is only 0.26 it sounds like it would have
been surprising if something had shown up.  Well, maybe it is ...

I hade external beam radiation for PC three years ago. It is now ten years
from my last colonoscopy (I am 70) and my GP says to check with the
oncologist before doing. He says there are cases where the radiation weakens
the colon, and a colonoscopy might lead to a perforated colon.

I had the Cryoablation procedure in November 2005,  My PSA count (0.434)
has steadily gone up since procedure was done,  my PSA is now 0.9.  My
Urologist said he was not concerned unless it goes over 1.4.  My next
appointment with Urologist  is in June 2007.  He did tell me if PSA

I gave a talk today to my colleagues here about prostate cancer.  One
of them brought up the Cyberknife, asking if I knew anything about its
use in treating PCa.  The only thing I know is that there seems to be
a 2006 study done in Korea that shows it is a viable option for PCa

I had blood drawn for a PSA on 5/1 and got the results last night -
good news!
History:
RRP in 1995

I hear instead of a membership pin, I can get 25 surgical staples from
my belly button to my penis!
Diagnosed a couple of weeks ago from my biopsy:
Age 60.  PSA: 4.8, Free PSA: 19%, Gleason 3+3=6, 15 core samples, 2

OK so here is my story;
I have been having symptoms of either PC or BPH. My  PSA ended up being 7.1
(I am 54, am not in a statistically high risk group and have never had any
PC in my family).

I am 7 Weeks Post OP from a Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy and I still
experience the following symptoms on a daily basis:
1.  I leak urine when I stand up, I can hold it until I get to the bathroom
(if I Kegel) otherwise I urinate in my diaper. It happens   every time I

We had our doctor's appointment last Thursday and he confirmed that
Allen's post-prostatectomy reading of 0.26 was an indicator of cancer
return (prostatectomy was 2.5 years ago, 3+4, capsular penetration but
clear margins - he's 53). Today was test day, a full body bone scan and a

I've just read a post on another board which states that this
gentleman's Uro told him to do 200 Kegels per day. He'd supposed to do
20 reps at a time, holding for 4-5 seconds.
He claims that this regimen has helped him show marked improvement to

There was a long thread a few weeks ago in the ACOR PCML mailing lists
regarding a tea that was stronger in antioxidants and polyphenols and
poly/multiflavones, etc, than green tea. It's called "ROOIBOS"
That tea grows only in a small part of the country of South Africa - as
