Advanced Prostate Cancer Patient Reports Shrinkage and Reduced Urination After ECCT Therapy

When Mr. Barrington Beckford, 87 years old from Romania first started ECCT under the care of Dr Chandran, the family’s biggest concern was not only the Advanced Prostate Cancer itself, but also his age, overall comfort, and whether his quality of life could realistically be maintained at 87 years old.

He had already gone through radiotherapy and hormonal treatment for Advanced Prostate Cancer with spread to the bones and lymph nodes. Although the treatments were necessary, the side effects and uncertainty were difficult for both him and his family. His prostate remained significantly enlarged, and one of the most disruptive symptoms was the constant urination, especially throughout the night. According to his wife and family, he was waking up almost every 30 minutes to go to the toilet, which severely disrupted his sleep and left him tired and uncomfortable throughout the day.

After using ECCT consistently for a couple of months, the family noticed a meaningful improvement. His night-time urination gradually reduced to around only 1–3 times per night. For the family, this was one of the most important changes because he was finally able to get much better sleep and rest more comfortably.

Aside, another encouraging finding came from his follow-up imaging. Later ultrasound reports showed that his prostate volume had reduced from around 170 ml previously down to approximately 120 ml after starting ECCT alongside his ongoing medical care. While the family understood this was not a guarantee or cure, seeing measurable improvement while he remained clinically stable and active gave them reassurance and hope.

Another noticeable improvement was his pain level and frequency. Before ECCT, discomfort and pain were happening almost daily. Over time, the pain became much less frequent and only occasional instead of a constant daily issue. His wife shared that he appeared more comfortable overall and was able to function more normally again.

What stood out most to the family was how active and independent he remained despite his condition. He continued doing cooking, gardening, and daily walking routines, which gave him not only physical activity but also purpose and enjoyment in life. For an elderly patient, maintaining these meaningful daily activities was emotionally very important for both him and his loved ones.

During follow-ups, he continued to appear cheerful, coherent, and engaged. He was eating and sleeping better, remained active around the house, and carried himself with a much more positive outlook. His wife repeatedly mentioned that she felt the combination of treatments, together with ECCT, had contributed positively to his overall wellbeing and stability.

The family also appreciated that ECCT could be done comfortably at home under supervision, especially since travelling had become difficult after previous treatments. Rather than focusing only on the disease itself, the therapy helped support his daily comfort, routine, and quality of life in a way that felt manageable for the whole family.

Mr. Beckford also shared during follow-up that if there was one thing he would have done differently, it would have been to start ECCT earlier if he had discovered it sooner. For him, the improvements in sleep, comfort, daily function, and ability to continue enjoying life’s simple activities became deeply meaningful.

While every patient’s response is different and ECCT does not replace conventional medical treatment, the family felt grateful to witness meaningful improvements in his day-to-day wellbeing, comfort, and independence during his journey.
