I was operated on for prostate cancer. Been cancer free for four years now. There should be no adverse effects on the children. Just explain cancer to them, along with the fact that prostate cancer is one cancer that can be cured.

I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in 2004. I have 5 children and they have all expressed concern. I have kept them in the picture with what is happening and what I can expect. They treat me like they always have. We have great times together and other than the Disease nothing in our relationship has changed. If caught early there is a great chance of a cure. He will keep checking with his doctors and will keep having lab work done to make sure the cancer is being held at bay or is gone. Take care and just keep the lines of communication open.

I hope you got a second opinion. There are alternative methods besides surgery. My brother-in-law had his cancer obliterated with somekind of radiation that they just pinpointed to the affected area & zapped it. Of course there are different graduations of infection and yours might be more serious if the doc wants to take it out. I'd really look into it further. Once they cut you open all kind of things could happen....
2 :
Make sure that you are seeing a reliable urologist and have them explain all your surgical and non-surgical options. Be sure to ask which procedure is least likely to leave you with sexual function problems and if that procedure is appropriate for you. Good luck with this and speedy recovery!

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer?
How does having prostate cancer affect a man's ability to have children?

The treatment can have a detrimental affect on the sperm. However they do usually ask the man if he would like to store his sperm before treatment.

2 :
Prostate cancer usually doesnt effect men before the age of about 50. The majority of men are done having children by that age (unless their name is Clint Eastwood, I guess). So, the point is sort of moot - it's like asking what effect a hysterectomy will have on a post-menopausal woman... she's no longer fertile before the operation, so removing the uterus and ovaries won't have any effect on fertility.
3 :
It's not so much the prostate cancer as the treatments that affects that ability.
4 :
The surgeon can remove a cancerous prostate without removing the vessels that allow young men the ability to father children. Thats wonderful progress in surgery.
