COMPLICATED HEALTH ISSUES
28 December 2020I was diagnosed with aggressive stage 4 prostate cancer metastisised into my bones, soft tissue and lymph nodes, 4 years ago. I was not allowed chemo, but had two radiation treatments. I also had 2 hormone treatments which caused me to put on a lot of weight. I have been fighting this cancer with special diet and herbs, but 30 months ago I was shown to have at least nine blockages of heart arteries. This meant I could not exercise to bring my weight down. On July 31, 2020 I had open-heart surgery to by-pass these blockages. My wife and I are renting and have no income apart from the pension, so we cannot afford the special diet and herbs I am on. As of Dec. 28 I cannot exercise due to lack of strength and stamina. The hospital refuses to do an MRI to show what the cancer is doing so I have no idea if my holistic treatment is helping. They originally told me that the PSA would not give them an accurate account because my cancer is at level 9 on the Gleason scale. Now they tell me that the PSA can, so what do I believe?
