I am 81 and in excellent health, with as much vim, vigor, agility and stamina as 30-40 years ago (honestly) I do "resistance training" with weights regularly and have for many years.  My PSA count has been steadily rising over the past several years and has reached 14 (!) which seems a...

    And HI back to you ! - (and many thanks for your reply - very much appreciated)

     

    A couple of questions, if I may ask:

     

    What is your husband's PSA count?

     

    Has he had a biopsy, and if so, with what results?

     

    What meds is he taking and how effective do they seem to be as to PSA etc.?

     

    My many thanks once again and hoping to hear back from you. Best regards from

     "gitano 26"

     Hi,

    my husband PSA is not high,(no biopsy) as of yet...

    but has been diagnosed with enlarged prostate.

    The meds. he takes for that is Terazosin HCL 10mg at bedtime, the other,Finasteride 5mg(generic for Proscar) the first one I mention, he's been on for serveral yrs. the other 9months..

    It seems to be working ,but the doctor said it takes about a yr. He has a doc. appt. next month and I think I"ll ask for Psa  to see if it has changed or what..

    Last night I was talking to him about Budwig and said lets try the cottage cheese and flax.  :)

     take care  :)

    My many thanks once more ! Has your husband ever had a PSA test? I had imagined that it would be essential and obligatory with an enlarged prostate diagnosis.

     

    As for the cottage cheese and flax-seed oil, about which I have read a great deal - it is important to take it consistently. The reports of its benefit are very impressive.
