I don't know anything about prostate cancer.....?

but a phone call from my mom just revealed that my dad's doctor "didn't like" the tests that were run last week on his prostate and wants to run more. He hasn't been diagnosed and apparantly it is very uncommon in men his age (he's only 47), but I just want to be a little more informed about it. Are there any doctors or nurses on here that are willing to share knowledge? Or are there any good websites that anyone knows of to give me information. Basically, I just want to know how serious it could be, how fast it advances, etc. I'm hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst.

There are different stages of prostate cancer and the prognosis depends heavily on the stage of the cancer. Prostate cancer in general tends to be slow growing (though not always)--so if it is an early stage, the chances are good that your dad will be able to beat the cancer. There are lots of treatments for prostate cancer, so your dad will likely have lots of options. You will know more after a biopsy is performed. Good luck to your dad and to your family!

Reply:Blacks in Africa don't get it but highest rate in world is among blacks in America. Men have a breast and can get breast cancer. Women cannot get prostate cancer. The more sunlight men get the less chance of having prostate problems. See this (bottom of webpage) on it. He should eat more fruits and vegetables and less dead animal (meat).

Reply:OK -- if he gets Prostate Cancer here's the cure:





4 tablespoons of lowfat organic cottage cheese


2 tablespoons of honey


2 1/2 tablespoons of organic flax oil


2 tablespoons of organic flax seeds ground up in some form


of coffee grinder.





mix this all together and eat 3 times per day.





Also, switch to juicing (all organics) apple, parsley, carrot and beets.





And that's it -- that's all he should eat for approx. 6 months if he wants to live.
Reply:He may have a biopsy which is an almost painless test to send some tissue to the pathologist. Then it will be examined and be either negative or positive. If positive it means it is Cancer. But there are grades of it and it is measured according to a Gleason Scale of cell involvement as well as Stage I II III IV. There are many types of treatment ranging from Surgery, Radiation Therapy, Brachytherapy which is insertion of tiny radioactive seeds, and Chemotherapy or a combination of those. It seems your father has a very conscientious Doctor who is taking good care of him. You shouldnt worry yet. And if he does possibly have that Cancer, he will get good care I am sure and can have a 2nd opinion consult if necessary. God Bless
