  • Dear Larry,

    I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis, however, you are on the right track by having a positive outlook and researching what works for you and I do have several suggestions;

    First I would direct you to the following website; www.BeWell.com and from there, look up Dr. Susan Love, who is a breast cancer specialist, but is also very knowledgeable about all kinds of cancer treatments.

    I do know some people who have had the seed treatment done with very good results – it may be something you might want to investigate further.

    I would recommend that you look into the following list of hospitals – they are the top hospitals in the US for treating cancer and I have included their direct links to each prostate cancer page.

    And finally I would recommend that you read a book by David Servan-Schreiber called “Anti Cancer: A New Way of Life.” Both my daughter and I have read this book and we both found it very helpful and informative in dealing with her Leukemia diagnosis.

    Larry, I wish you the best in your recovery – please let me know how you are doing and if anything here was particularly helpful to you.

    Sincerely,
    Loretta
