Hi Rose

I don't know if this is of any interest, but I started taking these 2 supplements after reading about "The UK YourPhyto Scientific Study" - combining a probiotic supplement and a new generation phytochemical rich food capsule to aid men with indolent prostate cancer. A double blind Randomised Placebo Controlled Trial.

See the link below.

Wishing you and your husband well.

Seb I posted on this recently as the results of the latest trial were reported upon and discussed in a recent conference. I think the conference was in America but not sure. My post shows link to results.

Hi Tracey 

I have my partner on a load of supplements as well but was recently thinking about lycopene but now I am thinking maybe I should more make tomato soup .Do you follow a specific recipe .

He had originally psa 674 5 years ago and no mets as yet but know we have a fight on our hands so trying to beat it every which way we can .Is currently on a hormone therapy break again  so I always get him back on a more full on regime when on a break lol 
thanks

Kind regards

Carolyn

Hi Ian

thanjs for your message. I am so glad I posted and appreciate all the support. I have made a note of all the supplements mentioned and will note the tomato soup recipe too. 4th chemo out of 6 on Friday. I’m not sure if it’s best to wait until the chemo is completed before starting on supplements and tomato soup. Not sure if anyone knows how best to start to rebuild immune system after chemo? We will continue to eat well and exercise and walk. 

I also listened to a news article yesterday about aspirin and prostate cancer clinical trial but we have to wait 2 years for the results. That’s a long time to wait if you have been given 5-10 years but good news.

Hi All too!

My husband was diagnosed in January, psa 750 with bone and  lymph mets😩Completely out of the blue after having back/ hip pain and thinking he had another kidney stone. He is now on Degarelix and still suffering with aches and pains but not as bad as they were, but we are worried that the hormone treatment isn’t working and dreading the next psa result.

We are trying to keep positive but it’s so hard!

Love  to everyone on here going through this awful disease xx
