Usually the only option that's left is radical surgery.
It is not true that it is possible to get rid of cancer by taking non-traditional medicines.
Cancer is very aggressive in its nature and it has to be cured aggressively.
Doctor may suggest the following:
- radiation therapy to kill cells in the tumor
- then the surgery follows- and after that the chemical therapy takes place.
After all, if everything is done properly, and what's important the patient wants to live and follows all the prescriptions the disease should go away. Modern science performs miracles with help of GOD.
I am writing this just to tell you that cancer is not a death sentence. Millions of people all over the world had cancer and many of them are still alive.

I've heard of this (from a very relibale source) herbal tincture called Essiac that's prepared as tea & has been proven effective in treating cancer.
It has been developed by the help of Rene Caisse who worked with Dr C A Brusch (physicina to President Kennedy) & after 10 years work together, Dr Brusch stated Essiac is a cure for cancer.

It all depends on when they are detected and treated. The further along the course of the cancer of course chances of survival are slimmer. But there are a lot of other options of treatment nowadays which are effective, like prostatectomy (complete removal), transurethral incision, coagulation of the tumour cells, stenting and so forth. But further along the course, when metastases starts to occur (into the hip bones more commonly), only option for treatment would be chemotherapy, radiotherapy...

The best treatment I have heard of is to start taking the hormone treatment as soon as radiotherapy starts and then continue taking the hormones afterwards.
Zoladex is a hormone treatment that has quite severe side effects, whereas Casodex doesn't.
You may want to increase your level of Vitamin E, as this is a VERY powerful cancer buster. Garlic contains Selenium nd this helps prevent the spread of cancer, as does ZInc.

BTW prostate cancer responds extemely well to treatment.

I have had two friends who have suffered prostate cancer, and fortunately the survival rate is high. One was treated with radiotherapy the other with surgery. I am pleased to report that both were one hundred percent successful and I wish you the same. Merry Christmas and good health!xx

It's a very treatable form of cancer. Many factors influence survival, such as age and overall health.

Best option towards survival has to be quit smoking and ease off the booze....no offence meant...just look after your body

getting treated in a specialised institution is the only option that occurs to me.
