No claims, just facts!

Since everyone seems to be in an uproar these days regarding "claims" being made for alternative remedies to cancer, I thought I'd go on record as claiming that I'm not "claiming" anything except my belief that God created us "in His image", which for me means that he equipped our bodies to regulate and heal themselves given the proper raw materials and conditions.

Here are the facts, jack!  You can draw your own conclusions.

May, 2014

• Discovered that PSA was 4.07. It had been gradually climbing for the last 2 years, so we decided to do a biopsy (TRUS guided)

Aug, 2014   Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. 

• My biopsy included 12 cores, and revealed that my cancer is rated T1C, with a Gleason Score of (3+3=6) with 6 cores containing cancer. 
  
  
  The cores were as follows:
  
  
  Left side:
  90%, 40%, 30%, 5%
  
  
  Right side:
  5%, 5%

Sep, 2014   

• For 20 days I took daily doses of Haelen 951. 
• I changed (ie improved) my lifestyle with the following changes:
• Strenuous exercise at least 5 days a week
• Daily consumption of vitamins to help meet my nutritional needs

Oct, 2014 

• On Oct 10, my PSA reading was 4.29.
• I started consuming daily doses of several Essential Oils

Nov, 2014

• 1.5T MRI
• There is a 1.0 x 0.6 cm focal area of decreased T2 signal within the left posterior aspect of the peripheral zone of the prostate at the mid portion on image 18 of series 19.  There is no definite extracapsular spread of disease.  No involvement of the neurovascular bundle demonstrated.  There is focal enhancement corresponding to the area of prostate signal abnormality.  Overall, the prostate measures 4.8x3.5 cm.

Feb, 2015

• PSA is now 1.68

June, 2015

• June 3, PSA is 2.11
• June 10, 3T MRI
• Prostate Measurements:  transverse 4.9cm, sagittal 5.2 cm and anterior posterior 3.0 cm
• T2W imaging of the peripheral zone demonstrates a concordant 13mm x 9mm x 11mm focal abnormality in the left posterior lateral base adjacent to the left neurovascular bundle.  The irregularity of the capsule and the 10 mm contact with the capsule suggest microcapsular invasion at this site. The neurovascular bundle is not encompassed by the tumor.  The focal abnormality in the peripheral zone demonstrates restricted diffusion demonstrating low ADC values 450 to 700.  There is no high signal intensity on b 1400 imaging but there is focal enhancement with DCE imaging.
• T2W imaging of the transitional zone demonstrates poorly organized BPH nodules in a normal size gland.
• DWI demonstrates restricted diffusion in the left posterior lateral base with low ADC values compatible with intermediate grade disease but no high signal intensity on b 1400 imaging.
• DCE imaging demonstrates an asymmetrical type II curve lies to concordant focal abnormality in the left posterior lateral base.
• No seminal vesicle extension, no pathological lymphadenopathy and no bone metastasis.
• PI-RADS Category 4: Clinically significant cancer is likely to be present.
• Due to "clinically significant cancer" findings, I will be getting a biopsy at a later date.  Due to all of the other positive factors, it doesn't have to be right away.

Oct, 2015

• PSA is 1.72

Dec, 2015

• 3T MRI planned for Dec 7.

I'm feeling great, and fully expect the results of the Dec MRI to indicate no or less cancer tissue than we saw in June.

Be blessed,
Tom

Latest PSA results are even better than the last! 1.72

Almost 14 months ago I was informed that I had Prostate Cancer.  My PSA level was 4.29 with 6 of 12 biopsy cores  indicating cancerous tissue.  The Medical community immediately recommended surgery, radiation, or drugs.

I'm happy to say that as of yesterday, my PSA is down to 1.72 (from 2.11 on prev  quarter's test) and that my cancer, if any still exists, is NOT a part of my life!  I believe that God designed our bodies with the capacity to heal itself, given the proper Faith, raw materials and  environment.  My regimen of Essential Oils, vitamins and regular exercise will always be a part of my life as I fully believe that they have enabled my body to return to the healthy condition that He originally blessed me with.

I still plan on an MRI targeted biopsy before the end of the year to check the status of one spot that the radiologist was concerned about back in July, but I'm fully expecting that "spot" to be gone when he goes looking for something to sample!
