It is a type of prostate cancer that keeps growing even when testosterone levels are kept very low by treatments. I deal with high BP, and it taught me that regular checkups and early detection are key for any major disease.

While eating fresh pomegranates and healthy food is good for prostate health, this is a very advanced medical condition. Please don't try any home remedies for this, consult a top oncologist immediately.

I understand how difficult hormone-related conditions can be to manage. This is a complex form of cancer that requires highly specialized oncology treatment, so please consult a medical expert for proper guidance.

In thyroid or any hormone-related condition, regular blood tests are crucial to monitor progress. This type of prostate cancer is resistant to standard hormone therapy, so constant follow-ups with an oncologist are absolutely necessary.

My father went through this treatment last year. Even though it is resistant to basic hormone therapy, there are several advanced options like chemotherapy and immunotherapy available today, so stay strong and trust your oncologist.

This is a serious oncological diagnosis and you should absolutely not trust any random internet advice or alternative therapies. Talk directly to a qualified urologist or medical oncologist to understand the next line of treatment.
