Most interesting, as I am about your age and in similar straits. Unfortunately my taste for hot foods has dropped off over the years, and I've become an arch skeptic, so this regime could test both my body and mind.
You can see below how my PSA is now rising in an exponential manner which seems characteristic of exploding biological growth. My research has suggested Proton Beam as most appropriate for me, but the philosopher in me hesitates. I do recall that Dr. Walsh says in his book that biopsy cores are a very, very small percentage of total prostate volume, and also he states that from pathology reports there is an average of 7 cancerous focal points on the removed glands. There is certainly room for doubt all around. In your case I think I would get some more PSA data and another biopsy. And continue the pepper.
I see my urologist next Thur and I'll run your comments by him for some input. I remember reading Andy Grove in 1995 or so, and wondered then what I may be getting into, but knowing I'd pursue it 100% once I got started.
Keep up the good work, everyone!

2002 - 4.6 on 6/6, 4.1 on 7/24, 3.5 on 10/1 at urologist's office
2003 - 2.3, 2004 - 2.7, 2005 - 3.2 on 7/15, 2006 - no test????
2007 - 5.8 on 2/5, 5.7 on 6/16
2008 - 10.4 on 2/29, 8.8 on 4/21 --- Scheduled biopsy for 5/6/2008. On a graph, the PSA rise looks exponential, i.e. a growth function.

As promised in my earlier posts I received my PSA and the reading was .84, down from 1.5. My initial reading was 12 before Hormone and radiation.
Is the lower reading because of my taking Ceyenne pepper?? Who knows!!??. What I do know, is that I will continue to take my pepper capsules.
My best to all! Dave |
