Alternative therapy for advanced prostate cancer

We have been looking into ivermectin and mylethain blue for my husband who has prostate cancer with boney mets could it be taken with his present treatment 

  • Hello and thank you for posting.

    I am sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer. I can understand you wanting to ensure that you are doing everything to help him.

    I am afraid I do not know whether these alternative treatments would work alongside your husband's prescribed treatments. Please discuss these with your husband's doctor or specialist nurse (CNS) so they are aware that you are considering them.

    Therapies that have limited research into their effectiveness on cancer in humans can be damaging and cause side effects. These side effects could then make it more difficult to take the well-researched prescribed treatments, so caution is needed.

    If you want to read more about treatments for advanced prostate cancer do read through the Prostate Cancer UK web pages, or if you want to talk things through do ring our helpline. The number to call is 0808 800 4040, lines are open mon-fri, 9-5.

    Sarah.
