If Ed Friedman is right about Dr. Leibowitz, why isn't everyone beating a
path to his office? It seems to me, that it would be a fairly significant
event in the annals of prostate cancer treatment if someone had an effective
treatment for end stage prostate cancer. But other than a periodic anecdote
here and there, one doesn't hear about this.

Hi, Bert.

I've been reading Friedman with interest for years. I don't think he has
yet to assert that he or Dr. Leibowitz has come up with the cure. But, his
(and his) work is interesting. I think that might be why he ended with the
smiley.

I was curious.... are you connected with Cincinnati?





From: Bert on
Thanks for responding, Steve. Also for pointing out the smiley... I had
missed it.

I've been on IHT for a number of years.. And my psa doubling time is pretty
short -- 2-3 months. So I am always interested in what the options might
be after my cancer becomes hormone refractory.

No...not connected with Cincinnati. I live in York, Maine.

Regards, Bert

I remember, I think. RRP 1999, chemo first, RT.... Nearly the same boat
that I am in except for the PSAD.

Okay. It was the "xavier" that piqued my interest. I've not heard of
"Xavier" much outside of Cincinnati where it is a long-standing and
prominent church, high school, and college.


From: Bert on
Xavier is the middle name of one of my grandchildren.

Good memory on my treatment. I also noted the similarities in our PCa...
I've been off treatment since March 06. Will likely restart treatment in
March. So it will be two years without treatment. That's a good run.
