Hi fans,

Big news tomorrow. You will benefit from my visit to the Doctor at the Veterans Clinic.

To keep my prostate cancer from spreading, I have been receiving Female HORMONE SHOTS every 90 days for about a year. The treatment is supposed to retard the testesterone from allowing the cancer from spreading to other organs in the body.

That's the explanation I have been given. However, This treatment , I think, has caused a general overall chemical change in me. I believe that my PSA has been around ZERO or very low for quite some time.

So the treatment MAY be no longer necessary but stays on the treatment schedule. I know my body and it has not been working well for some few months (fatigue, low energy, aching joints and general lousy general feeling...

I am asking the Doctor to tell me why I can't just stop the shots to my belly. and allow the body to heal it's self. I am going on a exercise and weight training to build back some large muscles that have atrophied over some time.

I will turn 79 on the last day of this month. I have been a professional baseball player with ZERO ailment for over 50 years.. I believe that sticking strong chemicals into my body has gone on long enough. I must have some better control over my treatment.

I will, of course, listen and respect the Doctors advice but I don't want to just roll over and take what may be the ordinary treatment without speaking up.. (if it is not working) to my satisfaction.

I'll share my findings on Monday evening as soon as I have some information..I fully expect to live another 10 to 15 years...That is my Intention. Follow my results and it might help you in your own quest for better health.. As God has reminded me so often , we are all in this life together. LOve from Don...
