my dad does too its sad
that depends on alot of technical factors
Surgery and chemo. He’ll need help with the chemo. I know I had it for breast cancer. I don’t know if they radiate that area or not.
radiation therapy is the best.very good prognosis for stage 1
lots of tomato ketchup and garlic
if it gets to stage 2 research mistletoe which was developed by rudolph steiner 100 years ago
oh …. and lots of sex (lack of it caused the thing)
In most cases, especially with a non-aggressive form of prostate cancer, the best treatment is NO TREATMENT. Most men with prostate cancer die of another disease (e.g. heart disease) before the cancer can kill them. However, if the cancer is determined to be an aggressive form, some type of therapeutic intervention is warranted.
Best wishes for you father’s health.
There are different options and though they all have side effects, he should look into radioactive implants. They are tiny seeds which do not harm those around him and seem to be better than the surgical resection and/ or radiation. He just needs to have a explanation of all the options and statistics. If he is older like 70 it progresses less quickly.
If it is on initial stage Best way to get it operated I f it is on next even after operation u may have to go for chemo .now there are certain injection in market that will hold good for chemo Though the injection is costly but will serve problem . the patient will not have any side effect like loosing hair , vomiting etc.Injection will have to take every 2 months consult your surgeon wish u peaceful speeedy recovery to your dad
AMEN
He must get a second and third, if necessary, opinion. I too was told I had early stage cancer after a biopsy. I took the biopsy slides from my Urologist, made an appointment to see the Urology Oncology Chairman of the local teaching hospital and they did their own lab test on the same slides that my doctor said was positive. They came up with no cancer present. So my doctor was very adamant that he was not wrong and so I went back to the hospital two months later and they did their own biopsy which came back negative. In fact they were surprised that my Urologist even did a biopsy on a PSA that was only 2.0 and that had increased one point in a year based on my family doctor’s information. Here are some original mistakes to watch out for all of you who may experieince this: my family doctor who said my PSA went up one point in a year had both readings done by different labs, not good, and then when my Urologist decided to do a biopsy based on that information without doing his own PSA test to confirm. Clearly I should have been smarter and seen that error. But then there is so much money to be made from biopsies and radical surgery Urologists will guide you straight down that road. This was all a year and a half ago and my PSA continues to decline now to almost 1.0 which I check every thre months.
