Default My Dad (cancer)
Well my dad has been showing signs of Prostate Cancer. So he got a biopsy done and it came back positive for prostate cancer. He goes in 2morrow to get bones tests done and some other stuff.

We are taking this kinda hard. My dad is only 57. Sad thing is he has all the signs of Advanced Prostate Cancer. All i can do is just pray that it is only within the prostate and hasn't spread.


To every man reading this if you are above 50 go get yearly blood work done for your prostate. My dad never did even after we try to get him to. He just wouldn't go intill he had the warning signs and by then it may be too late.

I've lost both of my in-laws and my brother to cancer.

Thanks for the thoughts everyone.

I thought they were going to do the tests today but they didn't. Bone scan and cat scan get done next Friday. But they did give him a shot of Kemo and gave him a prescription for some short of pills. The Doctor also said he thinks it didn't spread cuz his prostate is not enlarged. But we wont really know anything intill the tests.

Good thing he has great heath insurance (threw my mom who works for the state) Cuz the pills would be 800/month if he had to pay for them. Luckly he only pays 10 bucks.

Sorry to hear Mackman...

I know the feeling. Kind of makes everything else in your life right now seem not quite so important AND kind of numb all at the same time....

Hey Mackman,
If there can be any good news from this, it would be that prostate cancer if caught early enough has a good ratio of recovery. My father is 84 years old, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2001 at age 76 The Drs gave him a healty/unhealty doss of radiation via some sort of seeds implanted in the prostate and he came out of it ok, all things considered, there have been some minor issues such as occasional urinary leakage and interior scar tissue pain, but the alternative would have been worse, he stills plays two rounds of golf every week and is able to do a 15 minute mile on the treadmill along with his other excersises.
The key is to stay positve and believe.
I wish your dad the best.

Timberwolf
