Post Prostate Surgery Bleeding

I am hoping somone could help my uncle with some advice. I am posting this for him.

In 2006 medical diagnosis showed that my uncle was in the early stages of prostate cancer and after various tests the consultants decided that radiation treatment was the most appropriate way of dealing with it. This had an unfortunate outcome in that it led to constant bleeding for a number of months. He subsequently underwent sessions of laser treatment to fix this and gradually the bleeding became less frequent and less problematic.

Later in 2007 tests showed that he was suffering from arrhythmia and I was told that this could lead to stroke if it was not treated. Warfarin was prescribed to thin the blood but unfortunately this in due course caused the bleeding to resume. He was taken off the warfarin temporarily and a short time later suffered a mild stroke (luckily without damage). He was put back on the warfarin again and alas the bleeding recommenced and continuues daily. Problem is he is now told that he must stay on the warfarin if he is to avoid having another and possibly more serious stroke. This seems to present the medics with a real dilemma because the warfarin is clearly aggravating the earlier bowel damage caused by the radiation and they simply have no answers. He is constantly losing blood which leaves him feeling weak and debilitated with little or no appetite for food.

Needless to say he is desperately looking for some kind of solution to his present predicament and wonders if there are other people out there who have gone through similar experiences and who may be able to point him in a particular direction. Needless to say he would be more grateful than any words of mine could express if he can find some way forward be it through conventional or alternative medicine.

Hi Barry,

I am having one of my late night up today.  I have been so graced by great news, but my dog just woke us up with...well too much upset stomach.  LOL.

I don't know how I missed your post, but my heart is bleeding for your uncle!  I don't know the answer.  But he needs to be at the best centers.   And he needs to keep a positive mind set.  You don't say his PCa numbers ~ age, PSA, Gleason, Stage...But if you did we may be able to help.  His other issues  may be outside our scope, but we sure will try to help!
