Whether diet is a part of his plan or not, he didn't mention.

Most drs will tell you that but know way of knowing for sure.There is no test to tell you that. Can you live with that in the back of your mind.Even drs I know that are friends of mine all my all say the same thing get rid of it.Prostate cancer is painful way to go.Now if I were in my late 60"s then I might wait because in my case it would have been about 8yrs before it would have had a effect on me and then could have a dose of radiation that would buy you another 7or 8 yrs that takes me to middle 80's but at 58 noway would I take chances that you don't have to.Same with colon cancer look at the people who could still be around if only went for tests.
Psa testing has saved a lot of life's and that is a fact.I have a friend who had a psa of about 3.2 had been low 2's a yr before what they found was Prostate cancer and had broke out of prostate Had he went your route he would not be around.With seeds and radiation he is fine after 6 yrs
