1 :
I think breast cancer tops it. Why else would they have all these charities for breast cancer. I don't think I've ever heard of a Walk for Prostate Cancer. Besides, men can reduce the risk of prostate cancer by being more sexually active. Oh yeah my answer is F.
2 :
false. It is more common. 90% of the males will develope prostate problems by the age of 80. The good thing about prostate cancer is that it is slow growing. you can have it for years and not be aware of it. Even after it is diagnosed the treatment is rarely immediate. It was several months with no spreading between the time I was initially diagnosed and surgery took place. 5 months to be exact.
3 :
False! 1 in 6 men will develop Prostate Cancer which needs some kind of intervention. If a Man lives long enogh there is a 100% surety he will have Prostate cancer! Yeah, so why all the talk about Breast cancer over Prostate Cancer. Interesting, huh?!
