Recommendations For Wellness\n\nIf you are over 40, have your doctor perform a prostate exam during your regular checkup.\n\nIncorporate a healthful diet filled with lots of fruits and vegetables and low on unsaturated fats, sugars and processed foods.\n\nKegel exercises can be done to improve circulation to these tissues. A kegel exercise is performed by pulling up all the muscles around the scrotum and anus. Repeat this movement 10 times. Try doing this 'invisible' exercise 5-6 times daily.\n\nFor men suffering from prostate enlargement, saw palmetto is the place to start. Saw palmetto has a long history of relieving testicular inflammation and inhibiting the hormone responsible for prostate enlargement.\n\nZinc has also been used for decades to support a healthy prostate.\n\nThe herbs nettle and pygeum have also been show to be effective for relieving symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate. They can be used alone or in conjunction with saw palmetto.\n\nA great combination for prostate issues is Nature's Sunshine Men's Formula with Lycopene, which contains pygeum, saw palmetto, gotu kola, stinging nettle and zinc. \n\nYou can also try Nature's Sunshine's PS II or P-X. PS II contains antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that are beneficial for maintaining healthy prostate gland function. \n\nIncorporate the herb damiana into your wellness program. Damiana has a long history of helping balance the body's hormones.\n\nHydrangea is another herb that supports the urinary system, where it is know to promote the overall health of the prostate gland and help to reduce inflammation and swelling.\n\nTake antioxidants. Supplementation with antioxidants (vitamins A,C, E and selenium), such as those found in Defense Maintenance or super Antioxidant will help to protect these sensitive tissues from oxidative damage.\n\nAbout this contributor: Dr. Rita Louise, PhD is a Naturopathic Physician and a 20-year veteran in the Human Potential Field, but it is her unique gift as a medical intuitive that enlivens her work.

Aromasin\n\nhttp://www.pfizeroncology.com/products/aromasin.aspx\n\n  \n\nNew Information on AROMASIN in Early Breast Cancer\n\nAROMASIN has now been approved for use by postmenopausal women with estrogen-receptor positive early breast cancer who have received two to three years of tamoxifen and are switched to AROMASIN for completion of a total of five consecutive years of adjuvant hormonal therapy. Do not take AROMASIN unless you have gone through menopause. Do not take AROMASIN if you are pregnant. Do not take it with a drug that has estrogen. Ask your doctor about AROMASIN, read our prescribing information, and sign up to receive future notices. You'll also want to watch for new updates for our Web site, coming soon. It will be a valuable resource for care after breast cancer.\n\nFor Information on AROMASIN in Advanced Beast Cancer\n\nRead on here to learn how AROMASIN has been a proven treatment for advanced breast cancer since 1999.\n\nHere are some facts about breast cancer: \n\n • According to the American Cancer Society, more than 211,000 new cases of breast cancer that is capable of spreading to other parts of the body will be diagnosed in 2005 \n • The number of women getting breast cancer has remained steady in recent years. However, more women 50 years and older are being diagnosed with the disease \n • There are 2 types of breast cancer: cancer that responds to natural chemicals in your body called hormones (hormone-responsive breast cancer) and cancer that does not depend on hormones for their growth (hormone-resistant breast cancer) \n • Hormone-responsive breast cancer is treated by drugs that change the amounts of hormones. This kind of therapy is called hormonal therapy and is especially useful for treating many cancers of the breast and the reproductive organs\n\n \n \n Hormone therapy has shown good results for many women. There are several kinds of hormone therapy, each with its own way of working. You and your doctor will decide which kind of hormone therapy is best suited for you. \n\nAmong these treatments is a drug called AROMASIN (uh-RomE-uh-sin). AROMASIN is used for hormone-responsive breast cancers. \n\nIf your doctor has decided that you should take AROMASIN, the information on this Web site may help you understand how this therapy works. \n\n\nImportant Safety Information\n\nAROMASIN is a treatment for advanced breast cancer in women. It is used when tamoxifen has not stopped the cancer from growing. Do not take AROMASIN unless you have gone through menopause. Do not take AROMASIN if you are pregnant. Do not take it with a drug that has estrogen. \n\nAs with all drugs, people who take AROMASIN may have side effects. The most common ones are often mild to moderate.

This was posted on Dan Fofelberg's official website\n\nIn May of 2004, Dan was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer.\n\n\nAugust 13, 2005\nA personal letter from D.F.\n\nFirst, let me send everyone some very good news. In our first 14 months of treatment, we have succeeded in slowing the progression of my prostate cancer down to an almost negligible level. Jean and I are thrilled and incredibly relieved and finally feel like we can at last take a breath. While we understand that what we’re dealing with is a long term condition that will have to be dealt with, monitored and treated for probably the rest of my life, we are terribly encouraged to have come so far, so fast. It has certainly been the most trying experience of our lives and yet has proven to be one of the most illuminating as well.\n....\n...I currently have no plans to return to the concert stage or the recording studio in the foreseeable future, but who knows? At least for now, I prefer to keep my options open.\n\n\nGood wishes for Dan can be posted at:\nhttp://www.thelivinglegacy.net/wishes.html

I am glad that you asked this question.\n\nFirst there is a health history survey which the provider asks you questions to see if you are a risk for benign prostatic hypertrophy.  \n\nSecond, there is a blood test called Prostate Specific Antigen test which looks for makers in your blood that elevate if you have prostate cancer.\n\nThird, and this is very important is a direct prostate exam which involves the provider actually feeling your prostate.  He (preferably) inserts his one finger in your anus and feels the size of your prostate and checks for tenderness. \n\nThe PSA should be done annually.  The exam should be done every 5 years after age 45.\n\nI hope this helps.  For information check out webMD.com.

My best guess would be Genentech. Try looking it up on the web. I'm pretty sure they're one of the top.

Actually prostate cancer is usually pretty silent and has no symptoms.  You and your friend should be happy the lump was found and did not wait.  Most prostate cancers can be cured if found in the lump phase.  Once the cancer leaves the prostate and goes to the bones, it is harder to treat.  Your friend will live a long time!  Go to the movies with him and enjoy life!

That report sounds very encouraging.  But these things can take many years to develop.  I cured my prostate/colon cancer by taking six 500mg capsules of ginger root powder, four times a day for three days.  It is quite easy to do when you are reasonably healthy.  It is cheap, less than $10.

I think that is not bad at all. My husband was diagnosed with pc over 6 years ago. His psa was 145.3 at that time. You will do great, especially since they are making great progress in this area of medicine.

It has a treatment, and possibly a cure.  If you know the medical term then you probably know a urologist.  What do you really want to know?

I applaud you!!!\n\nBeing a 2 year breast cancer survivor, with a sister and aunt who have also had it and other cancers (colon & prostate) in the family.  I really appreciate all that you and the other scientists do to find cures for the "C" word.

i wish there was.you have no idea on how i wish this was true.  my dad whom i  love very dearly told me that he has prostrate cancer back in September. he told me that he was going to the "mayo" clinic. an extremely prestigious hospital for this treatment. with an above average sucesss rate. so i was very content with that. but as my mom and dad  go to Melbourne Florida every year to there winter retreat. he still hadn't gone to the mayo before they left. i questioned my dad why and he stated that he is going to seek full treatment in Florida with a doctor he knows and trust. well its late November and he hasn't gone for treatment of any kind. Ive called on a daily bases and spoken to him about it and questioned what he is doing to resolve the issue. his response is " i haven't got the time to take care of it yet" i questioned of "yet" to him. he explains of how he has to do this and that(things of no meaning). he is a vein man i know. and that is his issue. he is 75 years of age. Ive always known that your parents will die. but Ive never felt it like i feel it now.but the kicker is , i finally got to speak to my mom without him there. he doesnt have prostrate cancer. he has lung cancer. he quit smoking at the age of 33. but he worked his entire life as a journeymen electrictian. who knows what he was exposed to over all those years. so in answer to your question, i really wish there was. id read it to eternity. the bible as you so hiddenly speak doesn't tell you how to deal with this. if it does and you really see that it applies. then e-mail me about how i should read scriptrure...chapter... verse.... does it really apply? ask this of yourself before you offer advise.
