How long do you think someone who has stopped treatment for prostate cancer has to live

How long do you think someone who has stopped treatment for prostate cancer has to live?

Well, is their food intake up after they've stopped treatment? If it's not, it should be. Foods that are good for the prostate are White Gourd (a.k.a. Winter Melon), Azuki Beans (a nice dessert for a male to try would be Yōkan), tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, garlic, and Vitamin C-Rich foods. Also, up this person's fish intake.
2 :
We are are all variable so answering your question without any background info is just asking for people to guess. Has it metastasized, what kind of treatment was he getting, why did he stop? There is shot he can take to basically lock it in place, look up Trelstar. I caught a thing on the radio last night while driving home... Statin drugs block testosterone production, have him start taking them, it will lower his cholesterol and testosterone. Don't search for any studies on this because there probably aren't any, I came up with with the idea today. It may not work but what does he have to lose?
3 :
That depends on whether they do nothing or take others steps to deal with the cancer. I can't tell you what to do but if I was in your shoes or anyone else's who thought they might have cancer I would NOT let anyone start any conventional cancer treatments on me without first reading or rereading the book, Cancer: Step Outside the Box by Ty Bollinger. PLEASE follow the link here to Yahoo Shopping where you will find additional links to sites selling the book. Follow the first link to one of the most popular shopping sites on the web and read over 300 reviews posted by readers of this book including some who themselves had cancer. Then get the book and read it.

Will Chris Dodd used top notch Cuban technology and know how to treat his prostate cancer

Will Chris Dodd used top notch Cuban technology and know how to treat his prostate cancer?
Or will he handle it right here in the U.S., where leftists actually try to perpetuate the myth that U.S. health care is inferior to Cuba and other third world hellholes?

Yes.
2 :
If Dodd was in Cuba, he wouldn't get any healthcare because he is too old.
3 :
He is going to have surgery in the US.* The problem with our health care system is that it is too expensive and it is not available to everyone. Insurance companies run health care for profit not because they really for us.*
4 :
Are conservatives like you able to ask intelligent questions? Can you debate without resorting to distortion and exaggeration? Because it seems like that's all you guys have left to offer.
5 :
Well he certainly wont go to the mayo clinic in the 37th ranked USA.. Im sure 3rd ranked San Marino or 5th ranked Morocco have far superior care.. LOL
6 :
Push come to shove, even the leftists come here with their tale between their legs because Capitalism Works. They all know it but it doesn't help them get elected does it?
7 :
Chris Dodd and the others in Washington right now will always retain health care from the private sector even if the failed plan of socialized health care is pushed through for the rest of us. This aspect is already in the bill to protect Washington from socialized health care. They want the best for themselves, and to he!! with America.
8 :
Perhaps he will go to his Scottish cottage, that he "inadvertly" under estimated the value of for tax purposes, to recover.
9 :
Yeah, let's all make jokes about cancer. The Right Wing is filled with anti-American idiots who shame this country.
10 :
Cuban healthcare is quite good considering that the country cannot access medical devices manufactured in the US. It's also universal.
11 :
He's rich! He can have it treated anywhere he wants because he can pay for it all, if that's his inclination! The rich have the ability to buy ANYTHING they want (except eternal life) because they have all the money!

What are the signs and symptoms of prostate cancer

What are the signs and symptoms of prostate cancer?
Is bleeding anus one?
Cancer - 3 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Generally not. Bleeding from the rectum is usually hemorrhoids or some problem with your colon. Time to go to the doctor if it continues. Prostate Cancer usually has no signs until quite late in the process. If you are under 30, Prostate Cancer is highly unlikely.
2 :
Signs and Symptoms of Prostate Cancer The following are the most common symptoms of prostate cancer. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: weak or interrupted flow of urine urinating often (especially at night) difficulty urinating or holding back urine inability to urinate pain or burning when urinating blood in the urine or semen nagging pain in the back, hips, or pelvis difficulty having an erection http://www.health.uab.edu/14877/
3 :
No. Usually not. Early prostate cancer often does not cause symptoms. As the cancer grows, you may have trouble urinating. You may need to urinate often, especially at night. Some men have pain or burning during urination, blood in the urine or semen, pain in the back, hips, or pelvis, and painful ejaculation.

How many women will be wearing prostate cancer ribbons for Father's Day

How many women will be wearing prostate cancer ribbons for Father's Day?
On Mother's Day, many men wore pink ribbons to support the fight and research against breast cancer. Many men marched in breast cancer research funding walks and parades. In fact, the Major League Baseball players (all men) used pink bats and wore pink armbands in the games on Mother's Day to support this very same cause. Now, how many women will be wearing prostate cancer ribbons for Father's Day? Let me take an educated guess based on previous patterns, and say: "nowhere near as many men that wore breast cancer awareness ribbons." Further evidence that women today are far more sexist than men. Let me also state that there is roughly the same amount of reported cases of prostate cancer per year as there is breast cancer cases (slightly over 200,000 for each) -- the number difference between the two diseases only being a few thousand. Prostate Cancer Ribbon Pin: http://www.phoenix5.org/advocacy/prostat... The above link doesn't work. Prostate Cancer Awareness Ribbon: http://www.phoenix5.org/advocacy/prostateribbon.html littleviv2000: You failed you address the issue or even answer the question. You just wanted to vent because you had no valid rebuttal against my truthful argument. How do you know not many people view Women's Studies or Yahoo Answers? Yahoo Answers gets advertised on national television. Obviously a great deal of people view this forum. More people read than reply. Lee: You sound like another angry man-hater. Men aren't hiding "prostate" cancer and acting like it doesn't exist. If I was hiding it then I wouldn't have asked this question, genius. And, my grandfather lived 12 years longer than the age that the average woman in the US lives.

prostate cancer is so scary for men....more the test then having it for most, but there is a blood test that can indicate if there is a reason to be concerned.....how many women will wear a ribbon I would guess fewer then men wearing breast cancer
2 :
My cause is autism, which affects four times as many boys as girls. But my heart goes out to men suffering from prostate cancer; my beloved grandfather died of it a few years back.
3 :
Sh*t, you're right! My dad just had his cancerous prostate removed last year, and here I am doing nothing to support further research. And, I totally agree with your point that women today are more sexist than men (I'm a woman, and I try not to be biased either way). Que Righteous! Kudos!!
4 :
If there was a ribbon for this, you can bet I would be wearing itl! I love my Dad.
5 :
Just because it has a ribbon doesn't mean that people are as aware of it as they are things such as AIDS and Breast Cancer. They are "advertised" every which way you look. Television, magazines, and even food and clothing products. Maybe if it got put out there more this wouldn't be an issue. Someone needs to take it and run like they did with these others. They are all tragic and it is sad that some diseases don't appear as important as others. I would wear one if I had it.
6 :
I don't wear ribbons for anything or buy Chinese-manufactured "Support Our Troops" ribbon magnets because they're pointless, hypocritical (why don't you just donate your money or time?), and irritating.
7 :
Prostate cancer is a serious problem and increasing awareness of it will help fund further research. I don't think it's fair to make a connection between women not wearing these ribbons and women being sexist, though. This blue ribbon campaign has not been established long, and now that there is a ribbon for so many different causes, people are not paying as much attention to them. If you believe women are sexist, fine, but you will have to find some other evidence to convince me.
8 :
The whole point of your post is to try & prove women are more sexist....which you haven't done. You can't measure that by who's wearing ribbons & who isn't. But you've already made up your mind so why bother asking?
9 :
Problem is that men have been hiding prostrate cancer and act like testicular cancer does not exists. That women only have these problem and that a men and his balls and masculinity are exempt from all diseases. Sad thing is that men do not live as long as women, because women realize their weaknesses and men do not.

5 :
Do this instead of m..........n and you'll be OK! C S Lewis expands on the idea and shows why the non Christian really has no logical alternative but to accept that Jesus is God: “I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God.” That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic-on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. “
