Comments for My Fight With Cancer - I Could Just Die But That is Too Easy http://www.killbobc.org Wed, 27 Oct 2010 23:08:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Comment on What Are The Common Prostate Cancer Treatments by ♥ lani s http://www.killbobc.org/13/what-are-the-common-prostate-cancer-treatments/#comment-5 ♥ lani s Wed, 27 Oct 2010 23:08:05 +0000 http://www.killbobc.org/?p=13#comment-5 Prostate cancer is usually common in men over 50 while it is uncommon in men less than 45. Many factors, including genetics and diet, have been implicated in the development of prostate cancer. His father who had prostate cancer would suggest he acquired it genetically. His chances of survival would depend on stage of his cancer now. It seems that it had already spread on other organs according to your description so it would depend on ho far it has gone and how big the tumors are if there 's any. The appearance of his cancer cells ( Gleason score) would also help to tell his prognosis. The doctor would know and is the one who can tell. Anyway, just by your brief description we cannot tell what is going on exactly. He may have the different treatments available as he is still young so let's just extend prayers and your moral support would count a lot.

Unfortunately what u have described does not sound good. The chances of surviving are not zero, but small. Just terrible news! Sorry to hear. Genetics makes u more susceptible to getting cancer.

Much will depend on how old you are. The most common cancers listed are for males over the age of 60. If you are a young man the cancers that you need to be concerned about are: 1. Testicular cancer - Germ cell tumors (the one Lance Armstrong had) is far more common in young men than any of the other cancers listed: http://www.upmc.com/HealthManagement/ManagingYourHealth/PersonalHealth/Men/?chunkiid=14086 2. Sarcoma - disease of the bone or soft tissue. Osteosarcoma and Ewings affects males 4 to 1. 3. Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia - more frequent in males 4.
