Anthony and Lorraine Harris live in Mpumalanga, South Africa. Anthony was 56 years old when he was diagnosed on 10th June 2004. His initial PSA was 8.5 ng/ml and his Gleason Score was 5. He has not yet decided on his treatment. Here is his story:

I have just discovered that I have prostrate cancer-I am now recearching my options.

I am lucky that I have a wonderful family and friends, so my support base is strong.

I will report back later, and once I am cured, would love to help others by becoming a Mentor.

I have taken three months to get my business and personal life in order, and on the 30th September, I stopped working to consider my options.

I am looking at natural treatments, and after scouring the net, and this fine site, I am leaning towards treatments using Vitamin B17 (Laetrile)and other natural options, such as light and gases.

There don't seem to be many cases where YANA members have tried these treatments-I wonder why?

I will keep you posted about the future..

On the 19th of November 2004, I underwent Brachytherapy, and today I my PSA level has dropped from 8.5 ng/ml when I was diagnosed in June 2004, to 3.9 ng/ml. This is cause for celebration!

I had a PSA reading done yesterday, and it has now dropped to an all time low of 2.8! I still have some mild discomfort, battle to urinate sometimes, but for the rest I feel great, and have no other problems. My sex life is still a little tender, but I have a sex life, and its getting better. I will have another PSA done in two months time.

I often suffer from pain in my groin region, as well as being very hot there from time to time. Otherwise everything is fine, and, at my age, I have been able to secure a very large life insurance policy with minimal loading!

I still think that I made the right decision.

Anthony's PSA is 0.14 ng/ml and he writes:

What a lovely way to start 2007, with a PSA reading this low! After speaking to and reading other people's stories, I feel confident that I chose the right treatment.
