Is it true that husbands with prostate cancer can cause their wives to get breast cancer

Is it true that husbands with prostate cancer can cause their wives to get breast cancer?
I was told this by my mother. She said that it happens through sexual contact and wasn't for sure if there was a way for this to happen, kind of like cervical cancer is caused by sexual contact with men when women get older.

Where do you hear such nonsense, your mother? Are you serious, of course not. Cancer isnt one illness, its a collective name for a multitude of illnesses.
2 :
Uh.....NO! And not all cervical cancer is caused by sexual contact. It is called HPV (a sexually transmitted disease) that will lead to cervical cancer!
3 :
That is a load of bovine excrement! Cancer is not contagious and prostate and breast cancer are completely different. Your mother doesn't know what she is talking about
4 :
I think you should ask someone that knows about this stuff. I ain't never heard that it could happen.
5 :
Never heard of such a thing. And I am quite sure All of Us would have by now. Every TV station has something going about "prostate cancer", many celebrates have died from it and brought this to World Attention. So if you could get "cancer" from having "sex" with a man who has "prostate cancer", DON'T YOU THINK THE WORLD WOULD KNOW THAT. Your mother has something else on her Agenda. Now go check it out for yourself and call the Cancer Society.
6 :
No. cancer is not something like bacteria or a virus. Numerous things cause it. The closest thing I can think of that represents this is men getting cancer gives their wives more stress which makes them more likely to get cancer. But they still need the pre-disposition.
7 :
Absolutely NOT TRUE! Your mother needs to be educated about cancer. Tell her to go to the www.cancer.org (American Cancer Society ) and get the facts!
8 :
Cancer is not a communicable or transmittable disease. So if men happen to have prostate cancer and have sexual contact with women, it will NOT cause breast cancer. There are many factors that causes cancer (hereditary, environment) but it is not communicable or transmittable by direct or indirect contact.
9 :
Absolutely not. It is not possible to 'catch' any form of cancer by any means.
10 :
That is the biggest load of Bovine Scathology I ever heard! Your mother needs to go back to school. Cancer is not contagious. Human Papillovirus is and can lead to cervical cancer according to recent studies. There is absolutely now way that having sex with a man who has prostate cancer can give you cervical cancer.
11 :
Cancer is not an STD, so the answer is no.
12 :
CANCER IS NOT SPREAD FROM PERSON TO PERSON...
13 :
i would have your mother checked for partial retardation cuz she seems to lack any common sense

Did he have all three? Was it prostate or colon? What treatments did he receive?
2 :
They are all staged 1-4 and it is very unlikely he was diagnosed with all 3 at the same time. It is probably stage 4 on one of them.

Don't know. You have cancer?

No one can even guess at that solely by the Gleason score, although the score and the age are not good prognostic factors. This is something that should be discussed with you urologist.
