I would be curious to know if those who rushed to volunteer for the jabs would volunteer for something that actually is safe and might help them!

My prostate cancer was diagnosed in 2017. After much google scholar, other internet searches, and 2nd doctor opinions I came to the conclusion that surgeons cut. Not surprised. My urologist suggested a shot of Lupron and after 5 months Brachytherapy using Polladium 103. I went with this treatment. Prior to this I had PSA tests every year for 10 years. My PSA went from 2.5 to just over 4 then tested every 6 mo o 6.5 then over 11. My urologist then said you just earned yourself a biopsy. Biopsy showed both lobes had cancer cells. Additional tests including MRI did not reveal cancer outside of the prostate capsule.

Lupron does reduce the size of the prostate but I had more and higher severity "hot flashes" than my wife ever had while going through menopause. The bottom line is that one year after treatment, my PSA went to non-detect and currently still non-detect. The treatment made if difficult to have full erection so Tadalafil (Cialis) is taken several time a week to make it easier to pee.

Just wanted all to know that PSA screening is still important as well as a digital rectal exam. But only by a urologist. Most GPs do not have a "magic finger."

I like your trial on using IVM. Good luck.
