there is a big vane stinking out of the top of my penis

in it prostate cancer|||no; you need large veins in order to achieve and maintain erection. If you%26#039;re having trouble urinating and have a family history of prostate cancer (and are of the age where it is a possibility), then see your doctor about prostate cancer. trouble urinating can mean enlargement of the prostate; but even that doesn%26#039;t mean it%26#039;s cancer, you can also get benign prostatic hypertrophy (growing of the prostate).|||your penis is not your prostate, go to a doctor and take a simple blood test for the prostate cancer enzime, and ask why that blood vessle is sticking up. are you taking viagra? if so stop it.|||No…….but if it worries you……go take a prostate test…….there are usually no symtoms if you have prostate cancer until it becomes advanced…….|||duh? where did you learn the anatomy of a male%26#039;s genitals, in th egutter? Your prostate is inside you right where the urethra departs from your bladder. Thus a large vein on the top of our penis is nowhere your prostate.

Prostate cancer risk is reduced by frequent ejaculations thus you should be masturbating (or having good sex) daily and have your prostate examined annually to ensure all is well. In fact your doctor should examine all of yoru genitals annually despite yoru being embarassed by this.

As for the vein along the top of yoru penis this is quite common and can be just a naturla thign for you or may have come about from constricting the penis tightly during masturbation. It isn;t harmful nor is it anythign to be worried or embarassed about. In fact next time you can get a thorough checkup from yoru doctor, ask him when he is looking down there and he will reassure you.

Also, when youa re at the gym in the showers if you glance around you will see this same thing to varying degrees on a lot of the guys there.

my dad has just been disgnosed with advanced prostate cancer. does anyone have experience of this in their family and how this progresses?

i have been advised to have a psa test a s a p to determine wether i have it too as it ispossibly a genetic thing.

my dad is 73 i am 50.

should i worry or is there cause for hope?|||If the cancer is still confined to the prostate then his chances for treatment and cure are good. If the cancer has spread it is more difficult. At your age you should be having a psa with your annual check ups. They do not know if this is genetic, but every male has the potential for prostate problems. Between the ages of 50 to 59 you have a 50% chance of some problems, not necessarily cancer. When you are older than 60 your odds go up. You must have testing done on a regular schedule. With early detection prostate cancer is easily treatable.|||My dad had it, and he was told that many men die WITH the disease rather than OF it.

Hope this helps|||You almost certainly can be cured of it, even IF you have it.

Most people who have it, die WITH it, rather than FROM it.

I wish the best for your Dad.|||my father died about 10 years ago of prostate cancer . the progress is individual he chose not to fight it ( but by then he had secondaries in the bone ) so it was mainly pain relief he had the hormone shots and there was a radioactive drip he had.My dad was 65 when he went , my advice if I may ? take each day as it comes, enjoy every moment and if he is like mine was and not overly demonstrative hug him often because I promise you , it is the memories that are left that help.I have a psa every yr it is only a blood test it is a good indicator whether you may have a problem but touch wood that is not a problem I have at the moment

paul|||The PSA test is notoriously inaccurate and can cause a great deal of distress and worry without need.

It is not something that runs in the family particularly, so I don%26#039;t think you need worry unduly. However, it is a common condition, but not at your age.

As cancer goes, it is a fairly benign type, and is not always life threatening. However, there are some cases that are more serious, and your dad%26#039;s doctor can give you some idea of the type he has.

There are Complementary and Alternative approaches that can help. Shark Cartilage has had a great deal of good press - and I have personally seen a number of people who have used this with great effect. Make sure that you get a high quality supplement if he decides to try this.

Other approaches can also be helpful, and a nutritionist or herbalist experienced in helping patients with cancer can make a huge difference.

Hope you find some support for your dad and things work out, and try not to worry about yourself.|||Sorry to hear about your dad.

There is different degrees of prostate ca.

and a good prognosis with allot of them.:)

PSA is not an accurate test alone you may need to have a biopsy. Cancers can be familiar so get it checked out.

Find yourself a good urologist someone that you can relate to.

My father was told 8 years ago he had only five year he changed his urologist as he was a pig and has a wonderful oncologist. Is fighting fit still

In autopsy reports they have found lots of men have prostate ca but it was other conditions or natural causes that caused the last breath to be taken not the Ca

Don%26#039;t panic and don%26#039;t listen to horror stories.

But have the test|||I%26#039;m sorry to hear your news. My experience of prostate cancer has been by my work as a practising UK doctor with several jobs in oncology care. It would be foolish to fill you with false promises and at a time like this most people need transparency and honesty not euphemisms.

The psa tests are only used really as a guide line. However, treatment for prostate cancer is very good and prognosis depends upon many other factors for example whether the cancer has spread to other parts of the body and whether your father has any other medical conditions. there are a number of treatment options open to you including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormone therapy. Many factors influence what treatments are open, and a method called the gleason score is often used. More information about this can be found on the cancer research uk website. Basically, it looks at how the cells have changed and therefore how they would respond to cancer treatments. I am no expert in oncology and so I cannot stress enough the vitality that you have a frank and detailed discussion with a cancer specialist such as your father%26#039;s oncologist or even Macmillan Nurse. Most units have specilist health advisors available upon request.

Realistically, most people diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer can live up to 5 years post diagnosis. However, this strongly depends on the treatment options that are available to you and indeed whether your father%26#039;s response to treatment is good.

There is always cause for hope and I suggest that you look at the cancer research website for more advice regarding prostate cancer. More and more people are surviving cancer and living their lives. You will have some rocky times ahead but you should celebrate life to the full.

Hope this helps.|||Will everyone actually read the question. This gentleman has informed you that his father has %26quot;advanced prostate cancer%26quot;, by which i mean we are talking about a Gleeson score of 8,9 or 10, with possibly spread to the bone. Please stop with the %26quot;very cureable%26quot; comments, as by this stage, it is very uncommon. To the poster, not wanting to sound harsh, so don%26#039;t misunderstand me. In terms of how it progresses, ir depends on several factors, such as the Gleeson score, his PSA level, and importantly, his response to hormone treatment. When my grandfather passed away, he had a Gleeson score of 10, and bone mets, but still lived another 18 months at the age of 80. It is often gradual decline, until the point where the patient loses the will to live. In my grandfathers case, the oromorph and the illness lead to a lot of weight loss, and lethargy caused by the bone mets, which necessitated some blood transfusions. He lost a lot of his appetite, but did find that he could be tempted by spicy foods such as mexican and indian cuisine. It was quick towards the very end, but so long before that, we almost forgot at times he was seriously ill.

As for yourself, there is evidence of the hereditary link, so it is advisable to have a PSA test. Any slight abnormalities may be just simply followed up and see how it progresses. Any serious raises, and you%26#039;ll probably be referred for tests to check!|||To attempt to prognosticate one would need very detailed staging information. This is something ONLY his oncologist can do.

Familial aggregation (at least 2 cases in the family) is observed in about 20% of cases and a hereditary form of PC, compatible with a Mendelian inheritance, in 5%. This proportion increases with younger age at diagnosis. Translated this means you need 2 family members, rather than 1, to have 20 % risk, otherwise your maximum risk is 1 in 20, probably less since your father is already 73.|||OF course there is hope. Your dad having prostate cancer does not mean you will get it. i am so sorry to hear of your Dads cancer.

i am a nurse and regularly nurse men with this type of cancer.

Not sure what questions you want answered with regards to the cancer itself. The people i am looking after appears to be slow acting and generally they are well controlled comfort wise.

The person i am looking after at the moment was given 6 months to live and 2 years later he is still with us living a good quality of life.

It should be remembered that cancer does affect different people differently.

But all means get the test done if you are offered it. that way you will be observed closely.|||all men over 50 should be checked with a simple blood test to check PSA. it is genetic

it is a slow growing cancer treated with hormones your dads outlook should be quite good

http://www.prostate-cancer.org.uk/forums…|||There is probably hope, though I dont know how advanced it is, prostate cancer is usually slow moving. I have heard that you are more likely to die with it than from it.

Good louck and I wish you well.

Does anyone know the prognosis for prostate cancer that is now in the kidneys, lymph nodes %26amp; collar bone? Is this the end? Is there still hope? How long does the patient usually have? Please be honest with me. Everything I have already read on the internet is bad, so no answer will shock me. I just think I am not getting the full story from a loved one.|||It sounds bad if the prostate cancer cells have spread. If you really need to know, you should ask the doctor as it is your right to get the truth about your condition.

You can also do more research here about prostate cancer

http://www.healthandwellnesscentral.com/…|||The fact that the cancer has spread elsewhere is not good news. How long your loved one has depends on how widely spread the cancer is and how aggressively his doctors decide to treat it. You really need to talk to a doctor about this if you want a definitive answer.|||My father passed away from a rare form of penile cancer last year but what you described reminded me of him. To be honest with you, once his cancer had spread to the lymph nodes things went quickly downhill from there. He did have surgery however to remove one but I truly believe this caused his cancer to spread even faster. Once the cancer is in the collar bone area as you mentioned it has more than likely spread to the lungs %26amp; their is not much that can be done from that point. With my father%26#039;s cancer, they had talked about trying radiation in the lungs but it had spread to quickly %26amp; it was beyond the point of helping. If it didn%26#039;t kill him it would only extend his life a little, we were told. Does your loved one have lumps in the collar bone area? My father had some unexplained lumps on his shoulders that popped up overnight when he was in the hospital right before he died. I believe I noticed them about a week before. I would give your loved one a few weeks at best if they%26#039;re not receiving treatment…then it could be longer. I%26#039;m sorry if this isn%26#039;t the answer you were looking for but it%26#039;s an honest one. I prayed %26amp; prayed for a miracle when my father was dying %26amp; I never got one but I still believe in them. Even if you aren%26#039;t religious you should pray because maybe your loved one can be that miracle that people always hear about. It%26#039;s not to late! I will keep you %26amp; your family in my prayers.

Best of luck %26amp; god bless!|||Taxene chemotherapy are sometimes used for the condition you describe.

Some companies such as CEGE and DNDN are running clinical trials for advanced prostate cancer using immunotherapies and may be enrolling patients.

Does ayone know of anybody dying because of complications during surgery to remove prostate cancer?? It was caught early.|||There are many complications to do with surgery, and most of them will not be to do with the prostate cancer.

(the second link is a pediatric one, but most of the risks there affect adults as well)

Complications of the anaesthetic - people die from reactions to anaesthetic or poor condition of heart or lungs (usually known prior to surgery)

Complications of surgery - bleeding or infection are the nastiest complications here and can cause death.

Complications peculiar to prostate surgery - most of these are not life threatening. They will usually cause difficulty with the genitalia in the form of incontinence, sexual dysfunction, or the ever so wierd retrograde ejaculation.|||Sorry, but there have been cases of death due to complications, However, it is very rare.|||Go to google and look for it. There is a lot of information about this serious and underrated problem.

Your friend must go to see a specialist, they know, what to do. Most men after this operation are still here, so don%26#039;t worry - you can die of flu :)|||Prostate cancer??

Does anyone know of anybody dying because of complications during surgery to remove prostate cancer ?? It was caught early.

Any surgery under general anesthesia brings risks to the patient. Some of the causes of death can be previewed and prevented, other ones not, specially in a person who suffers an advanced cancer stage.

I could not understand it the patient died during surgery or as a consequence of a surgical complication.

In case the death was produced during surgery, then there are more likely causes related to the complexity of the surgery or the previous condition from the patient. Both cases, even widely described and known, are impossible to avoid unless the decision to not going for an operation is done.

I just can guess having such a little amount of information, it could have been a lethal intraoperative cardiac arrhythmia, or a massive bleeding due to the invasive cancer in lymph nodes surrounding big arteries, very difficult to stop since the cancer tissue is usually not as firm as to be closed in order to stop the bleeding.

If the patient died after surgery because of complications that happened during surgery, I only can imagine one condition that produces early caught is a massive pulmonary embolism.

Usually a person with a cancer has certain condition that increases the incidence of pulmonary embolism, since the blood clogs more easily. If the patient was severely ill or old before the surgery, with reduced mobility, reason more to consider this classically acute postoperative problem.

It occurs once in a sudden, and if massive, there is no much to be done since death happens almost immediately. In other cases there is time to start a treatment every time the person has enough strength to go through the first difficult hours.

Soon, I will have radical surgery to rmove my prostate in a nerve sparing procedure. Is there anything else that I need to know that my doctor won%26#039;t tell me especially about sexual intercourse after the procedure…|||Prostate cancer survivors need not kiss their sex lives good-bye, even if they do not qualify for the least invasive form of a prostatectomy.

Patients who use erection aids after a prostatectomy report levels of sexual functioning that rival those of patients who haven%26#039;t yet had surgery.

Not everybody knows that these aids are readily available.This is something that a patient should get information about, but may not be raised in any detail by his doctor.%26quot;

While rarely fatal, prostate cancer can damage a survivor%26#039;s quality of life. Up to 90 percent of patients report impotency or some decrease in sexual functioning following standard radical prostatectomy, past research has shown. The incidence of these side effects drops to 50 percent with a relatively new surgical procedure that leaves intact the neurovascular bundles that allow for erections. However, only patients in the early stage of prostate cancer are eligible for so-called nerve-sparing prostatectomies.

Until recently, the main treatment for sexual dysfunction has been surgical implants, which initially inspired complaints but have improved considerably over the past 15 years. Pharmacological approaches have recently become available, with an oral medication to combat impotence expected to hit the market within the coming year. Despite such advances, research has shown that physicians are often reluctant to initiate discussions about sexuality

Sexual dysfunction is a side effect, and you%26#039;re just going to have to learn to live with it.

For many men, erection difficulties cut to the core of male identity, so these problems can represent a significant loss. Erection difficulties can be equally devastating for the partner, not just because of the loss of intercourse, but because of a loss of physical intimacy and emotional closeness.%26quot;

Perez, Meyerowitz, Skinner, Reynolds and two researchers from the School of Medicine looked at 294 prostate cancer patients, 45 of whom were awaiting a radical prostatectomy, 117 of whom had undergone a nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy and 132 of whom had undergone a standard prostatectomy. Of the patients who had undergone some form of prostatectomy, 74 used an erection aid, including penile implants, pharmacoerection program or vacuum constriction devices.

After controlling for age and ability to carry out daily activities, the researchers found no statistically significant differences in the likelihood of patients being aroused by a partner or the frequency of sexual activity the patients considered ideal, so any differences in performance could not be attributed to differences in sex drives.

In keeping with past research, the USC team found that patients who had undergone nerve-sparing surgery alone reported dramatically higher levels of sexual functioning than the group that had a standard radical prostatectomy alone.

When compared to the radical prostatectomy group, the nerve-sparing group reported higher levels of desire and sexual activity and greater frequency of orgasms.

But as impressive as the nerve-sparing surgery appeared when compared to a radical prostatectomy, it paled by comparison to erection aids in allowing patients to recover their sex lives.

When asked whether they were satisfied with their current level of sexual performance, 36 percent of patients who were using erection aids following a prostatectomy responded affirmatively, vs. 14 percent for the nerve-sparing patients and 8 percent for the standard prostatectomy patients.

When compared to the nerve-sparing surgical group, the erection-aid group was more likely to report having a %26quot;slightly to extremely satisfactory overall sex life%26quot; (73 percent vs. 39 percent), sexual activity at least once a week (55 percent vs. 31 percent) and orgasms through intercourse at least 50 percent of the time (89 percent vs. 53 percent).

Men are getting the less invasive surgery in the hope of protecting the quality of their sex lives, but erection aids appear to do just as good a job.

The researchers predicted that their findings would offer hope to patients who are not candidates for the less-invasive surgery.

It%26#039;s not all over if you can%26#039;t have the nerve-sparing surgery, . You can turn to the erection aid as a good alternative.%26quot;

In

It%26#039;s clear from the pattern of results that doctors should seriously and routinely discuss the use of erection aids for patients who are going to undergo prostatectomies|||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.

Nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy reduces the likelihood of erectile dysfunction but cannot always be done, depending on tumor stage and location.

Orchiectomy (excision of testicles) alters hormone production and may be recommended for metastatic cancer. There may be some bruising and swelling initially after surgery, but this will gradually go away. The loss of testosterone production may lead to problems with sexual function, osteoporosis (thinning of the bones), and loss of muscle mass.

The drugs Lupron or Zoladex are also being used to treat advanced prostate cancer. These medicines block the production of testosterone. The procedure is often called chemical castration, because it has the same result as surgical removal of the testes. However, it is reversible, unlike surgery. The drugs must be given by injection, usually every 3 months. Possible side effects include nausea and vomiting, hot flashes, anemia, lethargy, osteoporosis, reduced sexual desire, and erectile dysfunction (impotence).

Other medications used for hormonal therapy include androgen-blocking agents (such as flutamide) which prevent testosterone from attaching to prostate cells. Possible side effects include erectile dysfunction, loss of sexual desire, liver problems, diarrhea, and enlarged breasts.

Your natural reaction to impotence may be to avoid all sexual contact. Don%26#039;t fall for this feeling. Touching, holding, hugging and caressing can become far more important to you and your partner. In fact, the closeness you develop in these actions can produce greater sexual intimacy than you%26#039;ve ever had before. There are many ways to express your sexuality.

Please see the web pages for more details on Prostate cancer.|||You can have the minimally invasive radical prostatectomy: the Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy, LRP, which will reduce bleeding, pain and recovery time. Good luck.|||Your doctor will probably tell you just about anything you feel you need to know. The problem that I personally had was how to approach so many different subjects. The very first thing that I did was to contact my local prostate cancer support group. I wanted as much information from as many different sources as possible–and I wanted them fast. I knew the prostate cancer support group existed from my previous work with the American Cancer Society. It still took me 20 minutes to find a phone number here in Salem. I was able to speak to the person who started the support group many years ago. A great conversation we had. Biggest item I learned was not to panic, I had time to find out what questions to ask. I then went to the meeting and met with several prostate cancer survivors and their wives. I was able to learn to approach the sexual intercourse questions with my urologist, my oncologist, and my radiation oncologist, and most importantly my fiancee (now my wife). We came up with questions to help me make a decision for me and us. It is my body and I have to be able to be satisfied that I have made the best decision for me.

You have to feel that you are making the best decision for you in this place in your life based on the answers to your questions.

Best thing I can tell you is what I learned to do: find as many (legitimate) sources as possible, talk with others that have been there, make a notebook, take notes, ask questions, and listen.

If you need any more info, feel free to get back with me. I will be happy to give you more info, contacts, or phone numbers.|||I%26#039;m not saying %26quot;don%26#039;t have the surgery%26quot;, but I think you should have this information, in case it comes back:

Research this. It is most likely that you will not function after the surgery..normally anyway. and that you may be incontinent also. good luck in everything|||If you are determined to get it back after surgery, you will. It is a long road and may take a year, perhaps more, perhaps less. The main thing is to not become frustrated if it takes a long time to make progress.A doctor who is experienced with dealing with this normally prescribes a pump a couple of months after surgery as a form of rehab to help keep the muscles from deteriorating. Some urologists will give you a one time injection just to show you that it is still possible to get an errection, but this is not a permanent solution to the problem. There a lot of things available to help restore sexual function. You may discover that that a combination method works better, not just one alone. A good prostate cancer support group is another source for ideas. If your doctors knowledge is limited, consult with a specialist who can give you the information you need. Nerve sparing both sides is to your advantage and you will probably be successful in your therapy to restore sexual function. Another thing to remember is that it wont be anything close to what we had before. This is one of the prices we pay to cure our cancer and survive.

I was lucky to get it back with only one nerve spared. It was not easy. Take care and I hope everything goes well with your surgery.

I will not have a radical procedure done. Five days, and maybe more plus wearing a catheir bag for eight weeks. Serious bleeding, with that procedure, and also with the Labascopy also.

Five hundred years ago, people said the world was flat. Today, people say that if the FDA and AMA haven%26#039;t blessed something, it can%26#039;t be real good. Well, here%26#039;s something I know to be real AND good. It%26#039;s a little different take on cancer treatment–

In 1990, I had Hodgkin%26#039;s Lymphoma, stage 3-B, but I%26#039;ve survived. My doctors were great people, but they were limited to surgery, chemo and radiation by profitable AMA treatment policy. During the year in treatment, I started learning about alternative medicine. I%26#039;m a retired engineer, and this is what I%26#039;ve pieced together–our IMMUNE SYSTEMS become weakened by poor nutrition, lack of exercise and reduced oxygen. Once that happens, our body becomes vulnerable to common STRESSORS. Stressors can be environmental, like viruses, heavy metals, pesticides, food additives, electromagnetic waves or pollution. They can be internal things like emotional or job stress, or poisonous people in our lives. Aging is also a contributing factor. So this means:

WEAK IMMUNE SYSTEM + STRESSORS = DISEASE (cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc.)

Our bodies have 60 trillion–yes, trillion–cells, and there are always some mutating into cancer cells, but a healthy immune system kills them before they have a chance to get a foothold in the body.

It takes a LONG time, usually, or a high level of stressors, to weaken the immune system to the point where it won%26#039;t do its job, but once cancer has formed, it will generally spread rapidly.

THIS IS IMPORTANT! There are ways to BEAT cancer that are currently being used in Europe and around the world, and there are some great books on the subject. I know because I%26#039;ve read about 50 of them from cover to cover. Here%26#039;s a list of the best ones. Some are out of print and getting hard to find–

AMA AND FDA–

The American Medical Association (AMA) and the pharmaceutical companies control medical law and the FDA in this country with heavy lobbying and a revolving door policy. WHY would they want to do this? It%26#039;s about the money. In 2004, medicine (doctors, hospitals, researchers and pharmaceutical firms) received 1.1 TRILLION dollars–1/4th of the total earnings (GNP 4.4 trillion) in the U.S. This is astounding, because it%26#039;s like 1/4th of our citizens–about 75 MILLION people–worked the whole year just to pay the nation%26#039;s medical expenses!! That%26#039;s totally astounding, and just too big to care about individuals.

If you have been stricken with this, then God bless you and good luck.|||Drink daily full big glass of Tomato juice.|||Prostate cancer is a malignant (cancerous) tumor (growth) that consists of cells from the prostate gland. The tumor usually grows slowly and remains confined to the gland for many years. During this time, the tumor produces little or no symptoms or outward signs (abnormalities on physical examination). As the cancer advances, however, it can spread beyond the prostate into the surrounding tissues (local spread). Moreover, the cancer also can metastasize (spread even farther) throughout other areas of the body, such as the bones, lungs, and liver. Symptoms and signs, therefore, are more often associated with advanced prostate cancer.

In the early stages, prostate cancer often causes no symptoms for many years. As a matter of fact, these cancers frequently are first detected by an abnormality on a blood test (the PSA, discussed below) or as a hard nodule (lump) in the prostate gland. Usually, the doctor first feels the nodule during a routine digital (done with the finger) rectal examination. (Note in the diagram that the prostate gland is right in front of the rectum.) As the cancer enlarges and presses on the urethra, the flow of urine diminishes and urination becomes more difficult. Patients may also experience burning with urination or blood in the urine. As the tumor continues to grow, it can completely block the flow of urine, resulting in a painfully obstructed and enlarged urinary bladder.

In the later stages, prostate cancer can spread locally into the surrounding tissue or the nearby lymph nodes, called the pelvic nodes. The cancer then can spread even farther (metastasize) to other areas of the body. The doctor on a rectal examination can sometimes detect local spread into the surrounding tissues. That is, the physician can feel a hard, fixed (not moveable) tumor extending from and beyond the gland. Prostate cancer usually metastasizes first to the lower spine or the pelvic bones (the bones connecting the lower spine to the hips), thereby causing back or pelvic pain. The cancer can then spread to the liver and lungs. Metastases (areas to which the cancer has spread) to the liver can cause pain in the abdomen and jaundice (yellow color of the skin) in rare instances. Metastases to the lungs can cause chest pain and coughing.|||Try natural cures:

first detox with spirulina, barley grass, wheat grass

Take immune system boosters: Maitake mushrooms, reishi mushrooms, astragalus, echinacea, antioxidants. You should research online for natural cures for cancer. There is also an Yahoo! Group called %26quot;Alternative Answers%26quot; which has an open forum on all types of diseases. Post your question there and many ppl will be happy to help you.

Consider juicing: carrot juice, cruciferous veggie juice ( cabbage, brocolli, cauliflower, so on) and pomegranate juice. Read the books someone suggested above. Good luck to you.|||If you take the %26#039;alternative%26#039; route, you will die. It is that simple. There is no %26#039;natural%26#039; cure for prostate cancer. The only ones who believe this are insane.

They%26#039;re the type who think there is some %26#039;conspiracy%26#039; to keep a cure for cancer off the market.

If you forgo standard medical treatment for cancer you will die.|||Saw Palmetto, has been studied with results both promising and not. It seems to really depend on dosage. look it up and see what you can find out.

Recently I found a small hard lump on one of my testes. Yesterday I had to go to the bathroom at lot at night (maybe because I had 2 cups of water? I had a fever). So I am confused, by the way I am 14 years old.|||O.K. cutey - a little lesson on the male anatomy. Your prostate is not on or in your testicles. It is a small gland, walnut-sized structure that makes up a part of a mans reproductive system. It wraps around the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. You would not be able to feel a prostate gland, it is checked during a rectal exam.

And, if you had prostate cancer you wouldn%26#039;t pee alot - it would be very hard to pee and come out like a dribble.

Now, you did find a lump, so I suggest you have you mom take you to the doctor to find out what it might be. But rest assured, it%26#039;s not your prostate.

Good Luck!
