The first line of defense for prostate cancer is to stop feeding it.

And what does prostate cancer love to eat?

Testosterone.

// Prong #2. Medicines (*) that stifle the ability of prostate cancer cells to uptake testosterone.

(*) In my case, a combination of Lupron, Xtandi, and Casodex. (None of these posts should be taken as specific medical advice).

Say goodbye to your ability to get an erection.

Say goodbye to your physical strength.

Say goodbye to a big chunk of your energy.
