Bottom Lines

PSA improvement was much faster, better than I expected

I don't know what, in particular, made the difference

I don't know whether this would work for anyone else, or how quickly

I don't know how long the positive effects will last - only time will tell

Do not try this instead of medical approaches if your cancer is spreading or acting up!

Aggressive monitoring

monthly PSA (vs 3 months)
follow up MRIS every 6 months (vs 1 year)
not clear on usefulness (for me) of TRUS
not clear (for me) whether or when to do follow on biopsies

These approaches cannnot hurt as supplements to a more conservative approach
