Prostate Cancer Survivor Story: My Road to a New Life

Mr. Kanada, 81 — Tokyo, Japan

The Diagnosis: Prostate and Bladder

In January 1991 I had surgery removing two-thirds of my stomach for stomach cancer, and recovered quickly thanks to early detection.

In July of the same year I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, with the bladder likely involved. Because of my age, the doctor chose radiotherapy and hormone injections rather than surgery.

Losing Hope

I lost hope of a full recovery and grew anxious about whether treatment would limit the spread of the cancer cells. Most patients around me had radiotherapy or chemotherapy and, though briefly stable, died a year or two later.

Discovering Tian Xian Liquid

I came across a book about Tian Xian Liquid and began taking it. Radiation treatment started in early September; on the advice of the cancer-treatment association I also added Tian Xian tablets, and later a suppository.

My Recovery: PSA from 120 to 0.1

After hormone therapy and Tian Xian, my PSA fell decisively — to 20 by month’s end, then 1.5 in January 2000, 0.6 in February, 0.4 in March and its lowest, 0.1, in April. The tumor became almost imperceptible.

A year after diagnosis the cancer cells in my bladder were gone and the possible spread to the pelvis was halted. I believe Tian Xian let me enjoy each new day.
