Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this increasing PSA levels. It must be troubling to you and I fully understand your worries. Honvan is no better alternative than doing nothing. Persons would always make it sound as a wonderful drug but honestly, it is not. If you were to ask me, I will say, do not go anywhere. Sit and work with your doctors on any further options. I know we are running out of options but I will mot also want you to take upon yourself and spend huge finances for no proven gain.
In all, this drug is no better option. I strongly recommend against.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
