I actually know of two men who have beaten prostate cancer. No cancer is fun, but prostate is one of the more easily treated cancers. Especially when found early, your dad has a good chance of survival.

Oh yes, all kinds of people. Robert DeNiro and Colin Powell are 2 who come to mind. http://cancer.about.com/od/prostatecancer/a/famoussurvivors.htm http://health.lifestyle.yahoo.ca/condition_info_details.asp?disease_id=108 Remember though: Your dad's life is in the Lord's hands. His timing is perfect.

All of the time. One of the most treatable cancers. In fact the 5 year survival rate for all prostate cancer is 99.7 %, 100% if the cancer is confined to the prostate. In some case treatment is not needed and the patient and doctor agree to monitor the progressing of the cancer. Prostate cancer progresses very slowly. Once the cancer spreads to the bone is when it becomes very difficult to treat.

Actually the man I work with just got the news that he is officially in remission from prostate cancer, it helps that he found it early too.
5 :
Yes, I have. 8 People so far. It is one of the most curable cancers out there. Don't worry, he'll be fine.

My brother in law and my dentist are both prostate cancer survivors and doing very well today. If the doctor told your dad its curable then dont worry because its one cancer that has a high survival rate when it is caught early enough.

Yes me, I am a cancer survivor. It has been over ten years since I had radiation and chemo treatments for prostrate cancer. I just had a checkup two days ago and all is still going well. The success rate is very high. Please contact me by e-mail if you want to talk more about this.

In general, the earlier the cancer is caught, the more likely it is for the patient to remain disease-free. Because approximately 90% of all prostate cancers are detected in the local and regional stages, the cure rate for prostate cancer is very high—nearly 100%. And I believe by courage and prayers it is curable even it is caught at its last stage. Be brave and support your father and never let him disappointed. http://www.prostatecancerfoundation.org/site/c.itIWK2OSG/b.4983495/k.5C76/About_Prostate_Cancer.htm
