I was suffering from urinary problems, specifically frequent urination (especially at night) and trouble emptying my bladder completely. I thought it was all due to stress, so it was only after a few months that I sought medical attention.

When I found out I had cancer, I was angry that I didn’t go to the doctor sooner. I felt fearful too.

I decided to forego prostate cancer treatment and I’ve never felt better.

Honestly, I don’t have any plans for myself in the near future. I don’t plan for next week, nevermind next year.

I continued working even after my cancer diagnosis; I needed the income to support myself and my loved ones.

My greatest fears were that I would die and also that I would suffer serious side effects if I had treatment. To cope with these thoughts, I exercise more and I spend more time in nature.

I have avoided treatment so far, but I feel optimistic.

Change your diet to include more vegetables.

Don't rush into treatment for prostate cancer. Since I was diagnosed, focal therapy has become more common for men with gleason score 7. I am currently looking at studies involving ivermectin and fenbendazole.
