As far as innovative new treatments all National Cancer Institutes are doing that. We need more funding to enable more scientist to do prostate research. We also need to be doing more studies, on complementary and alternative medicines. I feel that this can be used in conjunction with standard treatment. It may help to lessen side effects and the chemotherapy may be more effective.
Nutrition plays a very important part in the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer.
I feel that building the immune system is so important. People who include nutrition in their diet respond and tolerate chemotherapy much better. You need something to keep the healthy cells going which the toxins are getting rid of the cancerous cells. I did have a nutritionists evaluate Dean, and put him on certain vitamins and herbs toward the end. I wish we had began with the nutritionist when he was first diagnosed.
