When I started having to liquidise my food,being sick,a taste of ammonia in my mouth,stiff aching neck continuosly,and even more frequent trips to the loo.Every time I tried to clean my teeth and put a toothbrush in my mouth I gagged.I couldn't stand trying to put my false teeth in again it would cause gagging reflexes.My teeth started falling out and coming loose.My girlfriend forced me to go to the doctors after we went to a friend's birthday party and I tried to eat a beefburger and I was violently sick. She saved my life!The point of my blog is to share with you ideas on how to try to control our "PSA" count,by a change in life-style,diet,etc I will be posting articles ,about information I have gathered ,from reading ,and other sources,about the latest treatments,and future drugs under test around the world. Hopefully,one day soon ,a cure or a way of halting the progression of all cancers will be achieved! Until that magic day, if we can gather fellow suffferers World Wide,to discuss their ideas and knowledge, who knows a common theme on diet life-style etc. may stand out that we can use or avoid in our own lives! I welcome comments,advice,and information from doctors,scientists,and other professional people,or bodies,that you feel would be of help and interest to myself and others!
I will go back to the early symptons of my cancer ,which as a typical man I ignored! ( Full of gung-ho, Testosterone ,male filled bravado,I can cope with this!,I don't need to see a doctor!,attitude.)
All my life as far back as I can remember,after drinking a few pints of beer,I would rush to the loo for a pee
The reason for explaining the above is that as the years progressed the classic first symptons of possible prostate cancer,having to rush to the loo suddenly had always been natural to me, and one of the reasons I was ignoring warning signs,until I eventualy had to do something. I ate red meat most days,and processed foods,mountains of cheese,and at least a pint of milk a day. Since my diagnosis all of this diet has changed as I will cover in more depth later. For about a year before I started to feel really ill I joined a local gym and started swimming, and circuit training. I have read since that exercise can increase Testoterone,just what men with prostate cancer don't need, as doctors say Testosterone feeds cancer cells! It maybe a coincidence but during this year beginning 4 years ago my symptons began to increase dramatically! When I was a teenager I had often got off buses on the way home after a night out with the lads,in desperation for a pee! I'm sure you've been there too!,off went the bus without me, and then the long walk home from the middle of nowhere. The only good thing about it I was able to pee in the bushes as freely, and as often as I needed on my long meandering stagger home! lol.
My diet prior to being diagnosed consisted of, bacon,eggs,white bread,thickly spread with lashings of butter,and weekends sausages and mushrooms were added, this was my weekly breakfast routine! I loved it like millions of other Brits!
