Prostate Cancer?
hi,can anyone help.I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and waiting for an mri scan on 7th august.It must be at the early stages because i have no symptoms,everything seems fine.What kind of treatment do you think they will recomend for me at this stage,i am 50yrs old.
Prostate cancer is usually adenocarcinoma. Symptoms are rare until urethral obstruction occurs. Diagnosis is suggested by digital rectal examination or prostate-specific antigen measurement and confirmed by biopsy. Prognosis for most patients with prostate cancer, especially when it is localized or regional, is very good; more men die with prostate cancer than of it. Treatment is with prostatectomy, radiation therapy, or, for some elderly patients, watchful waiting.
Please see the web pages for more details on Prostate cancer.
Has any study shown that the hormone Zoladex completely wipes out Prostate cancer?
I am 65 with Stage IV prostate cancer that doctors said is aggressive and has metastasized to the lumbar bone. I was given up to two years to take Zoladex hormone shot every three months to suppress the cancer. After that, the next recommended treatment is chemotherapy.
Any comments the on basic question or the recommended treatment?
I am 67 and have had Prostate Cancer. My doctor has a very high success rate here in Chicago. He is an Oncologist as well as a Urologist. Operations and "Seeds" don’t seem to wotk too well. His treatments do. I wish there was some way to communicate. He is really very good. He cured me.

What are the Signs of prostate cancer in the early and later stages??
Prostate cancer often does not cause symptoms for many years. By the time symptoms occur, the disease may have spread beyond the prostate. When symptoms do occur, they may include:
-Frequent urination, especially at night.
-Inability to urinate.
-Trouble starting or holding back urination.
-A weak or interrupted flow of urine.
-Painful or burning urination.
-Blood in the urine or semen.
-Painful ejaculation.
-Frequent pain in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs.
Some of these symptoms are also present in some prostate disorders other than cancers such as benign prostate enlargement.
