Treatments For Prostate Cancer

Posts Tagged ‘there’

I have stage 1 cancer, Gleason scale is 6, PSA is 7. I have heard radiation seeds are quite effective with relatively few side effects for a cancer at this stage. any experience with it?

This is going to sound odd — just deal with that fact. But I’ve read that, in order for a man to reduce his risk of prostate cancer later in life, he must ejaculate at least 5 times a week during his 20s. That’s a LOT of sexual activity, and to be honest, since I don’t have regular access to a woman… it’s kind of a chore.

So, if I don’t do this, and get prostate cancer later on, is there any way to get rid of it without either dying or losing my prostate (and thus, my ability to have sex)?

Thanks.
Sex without ejaculating? How dreadful.

My father in law had his prostate removed 7 years ago. About a year and a half his PSA started rising again so they did three rounds of radiation treatment. His PSA continues to rise, so they chemically castrated him. It seems the cancer has become immune to the lack of testosterone and his PSA level doubled last month. At this point it appears the cancer is systemic but unfortunately it has not manifest itself yet so they don’t know where it is.

The problem: he is an alcoholic and chemotherapy isn’t an option due to existing liver damage. Even if he quit drinking today, his liver couldn’t handle the chemo so my question is:
Is there an alternative prostate cancer treatment for people with liver damage?

My grandfather has prostate cancer that has spread to the lung and eventually the bladder. He was going through chemotherapy and radiation successfully until they discovered the bladder cancer. His doctor said if he was younger that he would try surgery but that isn’t an option because of his age.

I was curious about robotic surgery and found this article from 5 years ago:

The guy in the article was 86 years old and weak with a heart that was pumping at only 5% the strength of a healthy heart. I am curious if there is anything even better after 5 years that can be used for prostate and bladder surgery.

I got diagnosed with testicular cancer. I lost my health insurance last month. The doctor told me I need surgery among other things. Are there any options for people like me? Free clinics where i can get treatment maybe? I live in New York. Maybe their are state programs? Any help would be appreciated.

Available treatments involve invasive procedures for what seems a simple constriction.

Is there any chance of getting enlarge prostate in early age like 20 or 24 years ?

Does enlarge prostate require any surgery ?
