BIOPSY OF PROSTATE WITH ASAP CELL

[runnerdavid]

Has anyone had a biopsy with an ASAP cell in one core,I had sixteen core samples taken and one came out with ASAP?  if so, what has your Doctor recommend regarding finding an ASAP cell?   I had a second biopsy and all samples were negetive.  Doctor wants to perform a PSA test in June.  Last PSA was 4.43 on Oct 2010.      In 2007 it was 2.62 and in 2008 it was 2.64.  Actually from  2004 to 2008 my PSA has been in the mid 2's.   Any info on diet or vitamin information would be of great help.  Thanks.  I am age 56-  Don't know what to do next?   Getting Depressed.

What to do next - is your question.
The exercises described here will help to control the PSA and prostate cancer and will ease any side effects of any medication you are taking.
Do it and you will know from the future PSA test results.You can also do it alongside any medical treatment.
After six months of kapalbhati at 30 minutes, twice a day, will get you back to normal, and no medical intervention, will be required.
Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy,stop and resume after about one minute or later.After a few weeks at the suggested maximum duration you will start to notice benefits gradually.

The pranayam techniques:
Bhastrika - Take a long deep breath into the lungs(chest not tummy) via the nose and then completely breathe out through the nose.Duration upto 5 minutes.

Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for 20 to 30 minutes twice a day. Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently. Can be done four months after any surgery.

Anulom Vilom - Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril

ASAP is atypical small acinar proliferation.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atypical_small_acinar_proliferation) There's disagreement whether it should be considered pre-cancerous, like PIN - but the vast majority of urologists say it's cause for re-biopsy. Your PSA looks on the way to doubling - this is both normal with age, typical with inflammation and with sex, and indicative of possible PC. You didn't say when you had your biopsies. I never had ASAP - went straight to cancer, and it was caught only because my PSA went from 4.5 to 6.6 to 8.8 in three months. Your next PSA should include free PSA - a high percentage of free is less likelihood of cancer, a low percentage is greater likelihood. My 8.8 was accompanied by a 6% free - meaning about a 95% chance I had cancer. Which I did. (Still do despite two HIFU surgeries and another coming up - at my insistence the doctors are trying to spare my nerve bundles so I don't become impotent or incontinent, and my cancer is practically on the wall of the gland, so apparently a few cells are getting left behind each time). So get the PSA/free PSA test - it will either set your mind at ease or lead you to the next step. I guess your doctor told you to refrain from sex for at least 48 hours prior to the blood draw because sex raises PSA.

The thing about biopsies is that you can't trust them 100% - it's an art, both in taking the samples and interpreting the slides. This is an excellent site for PC info: ttp://www.prostate-cancer.org

As far as diet goes - I don't think there's anything that will cure PC once you've got it, and may not prevent it either, and I've tried just about everything. Except avoiding sugar - this could be crucial to some people - all cells burn sugar to make energy; cancer cells divide rapidly so they burn much more sugar than normal cells, so refraining from refined sugar could help starve cancer cells. It's thought that the real culprit is high insulin levels, which is caused by high sugar levels.I wish I could stay away from the stuff since I now have PC and melanoma - in fact, reading this stuff again, just after being diagnosed with melanoma, makes me determined to put the stuff away (and I just made a chocolate cake!). This article has some info on PC and diet and sugar:http://www.prostate-cancer.org/education/nutrprod/ScholzBlum_Nutrition_Prostate_Cancer.html - and that site is a very good source of information.
