Cancer sucks.

 

About the prostate cancer... Can't they just remove the prostate? It is such a slow developing cancer. My father had it in his early 70's and he just wanted it out. I know the guy in this story is much younger. Wouldn't it be better to just remove it than live w/it?

 

(I know, I know the effects... But still, there are work arounds).

 

Here is to him getting better, all my prayers!

Not exact to this man's case, but it depends on how soon it is caught. Coworker had to have a series of radiation treatments. All is good now with him.

Yep. Thanks. Not sure what my father had done outside of removal. Again, he is older and just wanted the cancer (in this case the gland) out of his body.

Each type of cancer is basically a different disease. There is no one cancer cure. Different oncogenes get activated in different cancers.
