Re: Injuries during treatment

[Guest guest]

I fell and had an abrasion on my ankle that cut the skin. It is taking about two weeks to heal, during which I applied on occasion a double antibiotic ointment, The skin got red and then the healing process formed a scab and the redness is shrinking and the scab is doing its job of restoring the skin. Will the regenerative process interfere with the recent proton beam thearapy treatment of the prostate cancer? Have I created a process that interferes with the treatment and permits the cancerous cells to survive? Regards T Poxon Latest info regarding APC-100, the Adamis Pharmaceutical Corporation anti-androgenic anti-inflammatory, signal transduction inhibitor drug demonstrated to have higher therapeutic activity than the current marketed Standard of Care anti-androgens. If they can keep getting necessary funding, we may be seeing this drug on the market in three or four more years. http://tinyurl.com/6xjfnma Wiech (I think that is his last name) provided a very good explanation of the difficulty that can accompany smaller research companies to get the funding necessary to move their product through the hurdles of trials and final approval for prescribing in his post two months ago.

I'm not an expert but it is my understanding that the biochemical

changes that occur in wound healing almost all take place at or

near the site of the wound. I wouldn't think it would have any

effect at all on your radiation treatment.
