In 2004 there were 189,075 cases of prostate cancer in the United States. Men are considered at-risk for the disease once they reach 40 years of age. In 2004 there were 57,170,503 men over 40 in the U.S. according to the American Community Survey. That calculates to 0.003% of the at-risk population. I was not able to find any statistics on surgery VS. radiation. I have 4 four close family members who were diagnosed with prostate cancer and all received surgery first. One received radiation after surgery because the entire malignancy was not taken care of.

Since I had prostate cancer I watch this closely. I had my prostate removed surgically when I was 51. There is no 'proven' method of curing prostate cancer with treatments that have NO side effects. Michael Milken claims to abated his cancer with diet, and there are other cases of the same, but there is no proof that it works for everyone. I opted NOT to take this approach inspite of his success.

Honestly, its better you consult a specialist. I really want to help but I don't think I can give better answers than specialist do. Sorry. good luck Love is omnipresence, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
