www.mayoclinic.com is a good site, with good information. Just go to the oncology section or search their site for prostate cancer. You may also try Web MD.





If you prefer, Colin Powell's book on prostate cancer is quite good as is the book by Dr. Patrick Walsh.





Your boyfriend's Urologist probably has a good bit of literature regarding prostate cancer as well. Often times available for check-out or simple distribution - just ask. Most of these items are geared more towards the newly diagnosed patient and really help gain an understanding of the process.





As for the rest of your question -





Prostate cancer is an abnormal process of the glandular tissue of the prostate. It is a very common cancer, and when detected early through PSA testing and exams on a routine basis, very manageable.





Early on, prostate cancer rarely has any symptoms, which is why screening is so important.





Treatments are based on a patient's specific presentation, age, stage of cancer and personal preferences.





Just by being concerned and learning more abut the disease, you are being a help to your boyfriend. Best wishes -

Reply:The bible on the subject is a book by Patrick Walsh called 'Surviving Prostate Cancer.'





The best website I have found is at http://www.phoenix5.org.





I mentor prostate cancer patients in Orange County, CA.





I was diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer 4 years ago when I was 51 years old.





If you want a little more help, and I have a lot to offer, contact me at thewhytehouse@yahoo.com





I will not try to influence a treatment method, but will be able to provide a lot of important information about how to proceed and what to watch for.
Reply:Common sense tells me to suggest your boyfriend gets on an all-natural diet. If he eats meats (and insists on continuing), be sure it is organic [no antibotics, fatteners, etc., fed to the animals].





Exercise, to work bad cells out of the body.





Rest to give the body time to repair itself.





I'm a believer in straight, sour, cranberry juice too (taken an hour before meals) and also mixed with other juices [with orange juice is good] as a cure aid and preventer of cancer.





I do not believe in modern medicine -- so (if I were him or was caring for someone who was diagnosed with cancer of any kind), I'd stop the taking of aspirins and anything else that's not natural to the body. Bottled water (spring and/or distilled) - drink it, cook with it. Cook at home so that you/he knows the food is all-natural and prepared properly.





It just makes sense, doesn't it, to put all-natural things into the body if you want all-natural cells to form and the body to function naturally?
