Hello everyone, my uncle has a prostate cancer: gleason 3 + 4. He's been wondering about a couple of things when it comes to dealing with PC, and how to approach them. (He's from Poland and can't speak English, so i'm his voice here, and we'll be grateful for any help)

Firstly:  The level of testosterone. In his case, should he try to lower the level of testosterone or increase it?

Secondly, what about sex? is it good to have it often to release the sperm (so it doesn't stand over inside) or does it not matter at all?

And thirdly, what do you think about RSO suppositories? Any experiences? Have they been useful in decreasing the prostate cancer?

And maybe a bit general question... Any other ideas? What else can my uncle do to decrease his prostate?

Thank you very much in advance for sharing.

    What are the doctors saying about how to treat it?

    Lower testosterone is what is needed, as it feeds the cancer, but not sure how that would be achieved unless a specific Hormone (testosterone lowering) drug is prescribed.

    Sex - yes recommended to improve chances of not getting PC in the first place, but not to cure it.

    RSO (Rick Simson Oil or simply Cannabis oil) - lots of positive results but expensive to make unless you can make your own from your own plants. Best taken orally.

    Good Luck!

    First, deal with doctors that have a lot of experience with  prostate cancer patients.

    You mentioned, a Gleason 3+4. How many samples had cancer and what grade?

    When did he get the biopsy? What was the PSA reading?

    Testosterone feeds cancer cells.

    There are some hormone injections that will slow down the testosterone production.

    How old is he?

    Firstly, you need to talk to the oncologist and hear what they recommend. But to answer what I can:

    Testosterone increases the growth of the cancer cells so they will most likely give him tablets or injections to decrease testosterone.

    Sex makes no difference to anything. He can have a normal sex life.

    I don't know about the suppositories, I haven't heard of them.

    Depending on the grade and spread of the cancer they may offer radiotherapy or surgery to remove the prostate.
