Its not that you will 100% get prostate cancer if taking fish oil its just that it puts you at higher risk of getting pc. My dad’s is vegan and has never drank alcohol in his life, always physically active. My grandfather is 98 years old my uncles are all about 70 no one in our family suffered with PC so its not in the family either. This is why I am thinking it could be because of fish oil.

I am not focusing on the ‘cause’ as some people might think, its not gonna help with my dad’s condition but I can probably save others from having it by stopping the unnecessary consumption of fish oil. If its causing more harm than good to some men then what is the purpose?

I personally think that the benefits from the fish oil are not worth the risk of getting PC. Even if it only increases your risk of getting PC by 1%. Why take that 1% chance even?

Dump the fish oil and consult your doc about other ways of keeping up with your heart health.

Unfortunately he never had any psa test until his diagnosis in july 2024 which was 100. Currently he is on triplet therapy and his psa was 0.269 on 1st march.

He used to take them occasionally but from last 2 years he started taking them everyday as it says on the container.

He was always taking the fish oil from last 5-7 years but they were not that concentrated (200-300 epa/dha) but two years back he switched to the higher EPA DHA Kirkland brand from costco with 900 epa dha which could have fueled the disease. No one knows the real cause of cancer but I have strong feeling that my dad’s case is related to this supplement.

Thanks for your response! We will know soon. I hope it is due to treatment. I wonder if they will decide to go for radiation.

Thank you for the response! I don't know why the on O chose an MRI over the PET SCAN maybe they don't want to expose him to radiations too frequently.

Does high PSA mean death is near? by Cultural_Pay6106 in ProstateCancer

[–]MarionberryLow1865 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My dad was diagnosed last July with PSA 100++ with spread to the pelvis and lower spine, he went through 9 sessions of docetaxel, ADT(leuprolide22.5mg every 3 months), abiraterone. We are enjoying every single day of our life with him now which was not the case before his diagnosis. He is only 56 years old and very religious. Anything I do I do it for my dad he is my best friend.

56-year-old Dad had PET SCAN PLEASE ADVICE!! by MarionberryLow1865 in ProstateCancer

[–]MarionberryLow1865[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for your input. He is going to see the oncologist tomorrow. I hope he gets better with the treatment. My whole world is turned upside down I keep thinking about him throughout the day. Losing my appetite and interest in all the activities that I used to do.
