I had a slowly rising PSA since 2017, first in the 2s then 3s and finally 4, 5, and 6 pretty rapidly. I had the MRI and then the biopsy, finding a 1.4cm index tumor isolated in my prostate, Gleason 3/4. My PSA at that time was 6.4. My PCP and urologist said I had 3 months of Active Survaliance (AS) to make my decision between surgery and radiation.

I started a comprehensive diet and supplement regiment, slowing at first, but building some substance a little at a time. Almost all my research came from searches in Google Scholar, which focuses on published research papers of university professors and PhDs.

The next PSA was 3 months later, and it dropped to 4.7. Both doctors applauded me for that, mentioned one drop like this was somewhat remarkable, but not totally uncommon. Both said a second drop would be highly impressive since neither they nor others in their doctor groups knew of such a thing. I was given another 4 months of AS.

I continued to scour Google Scholar for more and more information, reviewing hundreds of research papers. Thankfully I have some research paper reading skills since I have authored a manuscript in Frontiers of Microbiology about Enzymes and read and reviewed numerous papers in that effort. As a result, I picked up more and more options to persue.

The next PSA was 4 months later, and I did get the second drop from 4.7 to 3.3. My doctors were astonished, and said, "Whatever you are doing, keep it up." I was officially a medical curiosity to my doctors, and now was on semi permanent AS ( if this actually is a thing).

Today, November 29, 4 more months after my last PSA, I had blood drawn for my next PSA. What will it be? I am eligible for another MRI in December/January. My urologist seems to think my index tumor must be shrinking since he opines that PSA readings are directly proportional to tumor volume once it's know the PC is present. We.Shall.See.

News Update. Another drop in PSA. from 3.3 to 2.45 over a 133 day period. Total drop from 6.4 to 2.45 over 11 months. Accomplished only with diet and supplements. No other treatments. Anyone else out there doing this? Thanks.
