Currently, I'm one of the lucky ones deemed no clinical cancer present. But I did discover I have BPH and maybe a bougt or prostatitis which triggered my urology workup. I've been worried for the past two years watching two former coworkers pass from this heinous disease.

My plan was to take an alternative natural path route after seeing the "standard of care" treatments here in the US. Checkout YouTube search Joe Tippins Cancer story and I think he updates his annual blog tomorrow. Checkout FenBen Cancer Support Group on FB. Check YouTube Dr Darren Schmidt.
