Re: How did you cure prostate cancer, Tyler?

Re your comment: "I was never diagnosed with cancer. It was just strongly suspected that I had it because of a high PSA score and I didn't submit myself to a biospy since it wasn't going to change anything that I did or didn't do."

Please refer to the following article and others related to the reliability and meaning of a high PSA score. There is serious doubt about its reliability for prostate cancer screening.

'Prostate cancer tests useless'
16:50pm 10th September 2004 The PSA test commonly used to detect prostate cancer is now all but useless for predicting the risk of the disease, leading researchers have said.
The test measures for prostate specific antigen (PSA), a protein normally produced by the prostate gland.

Raised PSA levels can lead to men undergoing radical surgery and treatment, sometimes leaving them with serious long-term side-effects such as incontinence and impotence.
