Due to insurance changes I had to get a new PCP, and she ran all blood work for baselines. I have been in Active Surveillance (AS) of my Prostate Cancer since 2011. My PSA averages 5.6 with a Gleason of 6. The new blood work PSA is 4.8 it is trending down. I am glad I chose AS. Not doing anything special but through self-education learning what foods 'may' fight cancer and added into diet.
