Prostate Cancer - Opinions. Friday, August 10, 2007. The PC Spes story - when do we believe? Why am I telling you this. It is a long story - let me start from the beginning. But before I start let me point you to the actual court "Statement of Decision with Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law". Click on PCSpes Decision. And read the document.

Prostate Cancer - Opinions: October 2007

http://prostate-help.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Prostate Cancer - Opinions. Monday, October 22, 2007. I recently had a question asked of me and I answered. I thought perhaps the answer may be of interest to others. Why doesn't an oncologist or other treater have an ethical obligation to make people aware of other trials and treatments that are available outside of their own facility? However many University doctors (usually very senior doctors who have earned the right to be more independent) will advise about other trials at other Universities where ...

Prostate Cancer - Opinions: June 2007

http://prostate-help.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html

Prostate Cancer - Opinions. Saturday, June 30, 2007. There has been information lately concerning contaminated Chinese imports of vitamins, supplements, prescription drugs, pet food, fish and various other food products. The Chinese government has recently closed 160 contaminated food producing companies - probably only a small part of the total picture - the tip of the iceberg if you will. Unfortunately, I suspect these companies will soon be replaced by thousands more. Could it be the men in the study ...

Prostate Cancer - Opinions: The PC Spes story - in the beginning. Part II

http://prostate-help.blogspot.com/2007/08/pc-spes-story-in-beginning.html

Prostate Cancer - Opinions. Sunday, August 12, 2007. The PC Spes story - in the beginning. Part II. Not one person that I knew in the PC-Spes movement (including the doctors involved) would agree with me as to what had happened. The fight begins! I quickly became the most hated person in the prostate cancer community of those who had formed their own cult of PC-Spes worshipers. Stay tuned for the my additional experiences along the way.

Prostate Cancer - Opinions: When is good enough treatment really "Good Enough"

http://prostate-help.blogspot.com/2007/08/when-is-good-enough-treatment-really.html

Prostate Cancer - Opinions. Thursday, August 9, 2007. When is good enough treatment really "Good Enough". The simple answer is: Any treatment claim, by any doctor or clinic, that is not backed up with substantial evidence is NOT GOOD ENOUGH. What kind of evidence? Most of us know the truth of the golf analogy, so why would we think differently about the skills of a doctor? What makes a skilled doctor? HOW THEN DO WE KNOW THAT A TREATMENT IS THE BEST. TREATMENT CHOICES BASED ON? If you die from this disea...

Prostate Cancer - Opinions: Why treating prostate cancer is a guessing game.

http://prostate-help.blogspot.com/2007/10/why-treating-prostate-cancer-is.html

Prostate Cancer - Opinions. Tuesday, October 16, 2007. Why treating prostate cancer is a guessing game. Every failure may the fault of mis-diagnosis or unknowns. PSA is a very unreliable gage of the cancer at the time of early diagnosis. The higher the Gleason the lower the PSA. For example we can have a Gleason score of 8, 9 or 10 and have a PSA of 1 or so. On the other hand we could have a PSA of 10 or so with a Gleason of 3 3=6. Two more important variables:. 1 The volume of the tumor could make a lar...

Prostate Cancer - Opinions: July 2007

http://prostate-help.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html

Prostate Cancer - Opinions. Tuesday, July 3, 2007. My theories - probably without basis! Someone asked me what theories I had formed over the ten years that I have studies this disease. Below is my responce. If I had the money to fund - my funding would all go to research at the front end. When does this disease start, why and what can we do at the very beginning, maybe even before the tumors are formed, to treat the causes and do away with the old man's disease. All theories, of course, just theories.
