    My recommendation was to have a Prostatectomy. I got a second opinion and got the same recommendation. That was all I needed so I had a Prostatectomy, that was 20 years ago.

    Hmmmm... what is the most concentrated mineral in the prostate. Zinc. The prostate is a gland that concentrates. Iodine. Vitamin D25 hydroxy is converted in the prostate to its active form hormone 1.25. Maybe supplementing with zinc, iodine and D3 will help. Additionally, maybe low carb will help since cancer cells feed on glucose. Just a thought.

    Prior surgical procedures for enlarged prostate is also important when considering surgery versus radiation. For example TURP procedure’s create greater risk for ED and incontinence after radical prostatectomy I believe. But check with your doctor. I am not sure about radiation treatments so check with your doctor but I don’t think there is as much risk for side effects.

    With similar outcomes with the ProtecT trial why should anyone with intermediate disease choose surgery with need for a catheter, risk of immediate ED and incontinence. What about the recent Harvard study showing higher levels of regret with surgery. You are overstating risk with MRIdian SBRT. What about Decipher score and PET scan?

    Tomatoes are the fourth most commonly consumed fresh vegetable and the most frequently consumed canned vegetable in the American diet. There is emerging epidemiology data supporting the connection between increased tomato consumption and reduced risk for both cardiovascular disease and prostate cancer.
    Here we will summarize the nutrient and the phytochemical content of tomatoes and tomato products, and how these bioactive components might act together to modulate disease development.
    Recent animal studies have investigated tomatoes, lycopene, and prostate cancer using the N-methyl-N-nitrosourea and Dunning rat models.
    These animal studies also suggest that diets containing tomatoes may decrease the risk or the progression of prostate cancer. Due to the frequency and the extent of tomato consumption, the supporting epidemiological and animal data, which connect increased intakes with decreased cancer and cardiovascular disease risk, tomato's role in the American diet is of undeniable importance as part of a healthy diet.

      How does tomatoes affect prostate cancer?
      In the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, a two-serving per week increase in tomato sauce intake was associated with a 20% reduction in risk of prostate cancer progression (mostly biochemical recurrence).
      Which of the following compounds found in tomatoes may reduce the risk of prostate cancer?
      Lycopene is a red carotenoid consumed from plant-based foods including tomatoes. The consumption of lycopene-rich foods has been reported to be associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer and BPH.
      Lycopene or a diet high in lycopene can safely be recommended for prostate cancer prevention or as adjunctive treatment of prostate cancer. Currently, PSA testing is recommended for men over the age of 50 years who have a life expectancy greater than 10 years and for younger men at high risk of prostate cancer.
      Cooked tomatoes provide the body with more lycopene than uncooked tomatoes, a substance that can help reduce the chances of an enlarged prostate by up to 35%.
      What foods should be avoided with prostate cancer?
      Low in red and processed meat, saturated fat and salt
      Choose chicken or fish instead. Choose lean meat. Limit saturated fats found in foods such as fatty meat, biscuits, crisps, cheese, cream and butter. Use healthier unsaturated fats like vegetable, olive and sunflower oil and use small amounts.
      What is the best fruit for prostate?
      Berries, including strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, are all packed full of antioxidants that can help protect your cells from damage. Including berries in your diet can improve your prostate health while contributing to your overall health.

      10 Great Foods For Prostate Health
      prostate health
      Maintaining a healthy prostate is crucial for men’s overall well-being. With an estimated 288,300 new cases of prostate cancer in 2023, it is essential to know how to care for your prostate. While regular check-ups and medical advice are essential, incorporating prostate-friendly foods into your diet can provide an additional boost to support prostate health.
      Foods For Optimal Prostate Health
      Research suggests a diet that is high in colorful vegetables, low in sugar and processed carbohydrates, and moderate in animal-based protein is key for optimal prostate health. Here at Alliance Urology, we have put together a list of great foods that can contribute to prostate health and overall wellness.
      1. Tomatoes
      Not only are tomatoes versatile and delicious, but they also contain lycopene, which has been shown to help reduce the risk of prostate cancer and slow the growth of prostate tumors. To increase the absorption of this antioxidant, it is suggested to cook your tomatoes or pair them with a healthy fat, like olive oil.
      2. Berries
      Nature’s candy has more benefits than just being sweet and delicious. Berries, including strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, are all packed full of antioxidants that can help protect your cells from damage. Including berries in your diet can improve your prostate health while contributing to your overall health.
      3. Cruciferous Vegetables
      Sulforaphane is a phytochemical found in many cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, bok choy, and more. Sulforaphane has been associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer. The NIH suggests sulforaphane can play a “protective role” in prostate cancer by preventing the development and progression of prostatic tumors.
      4. Green Tea
      Green tea may not have been first to mind when it comes to prostate health. However, green tea is a rich source of antioxidants called catechins, which have anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Regular consumption of green tea has been associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer.
      5. Fatty Fish
      Fatty fish is considered a superfood and for good reason. Fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines contain Omega-3s, which have a laundry list of benefits. Some of the most notable are preventing heart disease and stroke, helping control lupus, and can play protective roles in cancer and other life-threatening conditions.
      6. Pumpkin Seeds
      Pumpkin seeds contain a phytochemical that can help prevent prostate problems. It is recommended to eat roughly 5 grams of pumpkin seeds daily when dealing with benign prostatic hyperplasia. If eating pumpkin seeds by the handful isn’t for you, try sprinkling them on top of your favorite salad.
      7. Walnuts
      In the seed and nut family, walnuts also can have considerable benefits when it comes to your prostate health. Walnuts are rich in nutrients like zinc, selenium, and vitamin E, which have been linked to prostate health. Additionally, they provide healthy fats and protein.
      8. Garlic
      Garlic has more of a purpose than leveling up a dish. Garlic is a part of the allium vegetable family, which contains sulfur compounds. These compounds are thought to help protect against prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Additionally, garlic may help decrease your blood pressure and prevent blood clots.
      9. Turmeric
      Used in Asia for thousands of years, turmeric contains curcumin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Studies have shown that curcumin may inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells.
      10. Legumes
      Beans, lentils, and peas are all a part of the legume family and boast as an excellent source of fiber, protein, and other various nutrients. Not only are legumes great for your overall health, but they also may help suppress tumor growth.
      Eating a nutritious diet offers benefits well beyond the realm of prostate health, offering numerous advantages for overall well-being.

A number of potential mechanisms by which lycopene may act have emerged, including serving as an important in vivo antioxidant, enhancing cell-to-cell communication via increasing gap junctions between cells, and modulating cell-cycle progression. Although the effect of lycopene is biologically relevant, the tomato is also an excellent source of nutrients, including folate, vitamin C, and various other carotenoids and phytochemicals, such as polyphenols, which also may be associated with lower cancer risk. Tomatoes also contain significant quantities of potassium, as well as some vitamin A and vitamin E. Our laboratory has been interested in identifying specific components or combination of components in tomatoes that are responsible for reducing prostate cancer risk. We carried out cell culture trials to evaluate the effects of tomato carotenoids and tomato polyphenols on growth of prostate cancer cells. We also evaluated the ability of freeze-dried whole-tomato powder or lycopene alone to reduce growth of prostate tumors in rats. This paper reviews the epidemiological evidence, evaluating the relationship between prostate cancer risk and tomato consumption, and presents experimental data from this and other laboratories that support the hypothesis that whole tomato and its phytochemical components reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Some doctors feel threatened if you know too much. Some don't. My husband's Urologist was impressed about how much I knew and said I should have gone to medical school. I took that as a compliment! Part of the reason I know how to do research is because I have a pancreatic cyst that also has the potential to turn cancerous in the future so I have done a lot of research on that topic for the past 4 years.

      @@karimaogden3875 He needs to make the call himself and admit he is the one. You are walking into a minefield. I have it now but went to all the appts with my father 20 years ago. He asked me what to do and I advised him " It's your decision" people were telling him to do nothing and they knew nothing. He had a type that spreads and it had already spread. Later I said " If I had cancer I would want it gone" He had a painful recovery, it took 6 months for the incontinence to subside. He did live 20 more years and died of something else BUT he always blamed me and held it against me. No mam, don't you dare...Bi-polar or not it HAS to be him. Too much is going on and the stakes for him are high and variable. More things than I mentioned.

      @@worddunlap , thank you for responding to my post. When you say that "He needs to make the call himself and admit he is the one", are you referring to doing all the research or making the final decisions as to whether or not to have a biopsy and what kind of treatment to have if and when he is told he has cancer? As I said, he will be having a biopsy in Feb and that was HIS decision based on what the Urologist said and all the research I had done. The biopsy comes with the risk of serious complications like bleeding and serious infection (sepsis). He is not too thrilled about it but is willing to take the risk. There is a good chance though that he doesn't have cancer based on a Multiparametric MRI he had done in December but the results were inconclusive and showed a small suspicious area possibly cancer but the radiologist couldn't say for sure so the only way to find out for sure is to do the biopsy. The radiologist did note that he had Mild Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (Enlarged Prostate) which we already suspected. As far as me having to do all the research, he prefers that I do it and then share the most relevant and concise articles and videos on the subject so that he doesn't get too overwhelmed. Like I said, he has a very severe case of Bipolar Disorder and has been hospitalized about 15 times in the past 26 years. His most recent hospitalization was in July 2018 and he is still not fully stable yet. That's why I worry that he could relapse again if I put too much pressure on him about doing research. This prostate thing came out of left field for us. It started with a Screening PSA done by his new PCP and is now evolved into biopsies and possible cancer. We have enough dealing with his Bipolar and his other issues of Hypertension and Diabetes which were caused by his psych meds. I am sorry to hear that you now have prostate cancer. What stage are you? I hope it was caught early.

    I have a 3+3, and a 3+4 Gleason...2 out of six biops bad... My docs say taking my prostate might save me..What a fkn predicament. As if I don't have enough sht to worry about already...lol I guess I'm lucky. ...so far...always more bad news possible... my cancer seems to have been caught early. I guess removing a prostate without cutting the nerves that make life a little extra special is common. GOD, I hope so. I'm scared for sure.
