Default How long can you live with Prostate cancer? - 12-15-2008, 11:45 AM

About ten years or so ago I went to the doctor and asked about Prostate cancer screening. He said I was too young. Besides being over worked under paid and uninsured I have a pain in my scrotum and it feels like I have an 8 ball in between my crotch. I have been doing a lot of heavy lifting and I am exhausted. Everything works fine down there but I am very tired. A friend of mine had kidney cancer and he died shortly afterwards, he complained of being tired. Also my bones hurt. I was thinking that I could have a body infection. Should I be terminated by lethal injection? Getting sick is a sin in this country, I should be punished. Of course I could be over reacting, it has been a terrible week.

My dad had prostate cancer and has beat it with chemotherapy. From what I understand (second hand through him), if caught early enough prostate cancer is one of the cancers with the best success rates.

I am sorry you are in pain. Do not let not having money or insurance keep you from getting the medical help you need and deserve. I do not know where you live, but there are free clinics in almost every State. Call the emergency room of any hospital and ask where you can go to get medical help, explain that you have no money or insurance.You can just go to an ER to see a doctor, they can not refuse to treat you because you have no money, they will bill you.If you can not pay the bill - you can not pay it, better to owe a bill than to lose your life. This could be very serious, do not put it off any longer. I hope you feel better and also get medical help.

Many men have prostate cancer the question is have fast growing is it. The younger you are when it is found is an indicator of how agressive it is. Under sixty five it means loosing the gland. If you are older the Doc many choose other means. All men should take for granted they prostate cancer and study what they can do diet wise to slow cancer.
