My wife’s father died from prostate cancer. Do women care about their brothers/fathers/sons?

There is overwhelming evidence that a woman’s genetic makeup and the environment that we live in are closely related to some women being diagnosed with ****** cancer. The positive and negative impact of a woman’s lifestyle also greatly heightens the risk of this type of cancer. Here are a few issues to think about when looking at what you can do to lower your risk of this deadly disease:

Obesity after menopause increases the risk:

With the growing number of protective measures being taken to cut down on the risks of ****** cancer before menopause starts, studies show that obesity clearly increases the chance of cancer after the full phase of menopause is completed. Some doctors have even stated that finding the tumors while preforming an exam or a mammogram are harder to sense because of the tumors feeling or looking like fatty tissue rather than the tumor itself because of the obesity.

While it is a correlation between obesity and cancer, estimates show that being overweight counts for about one in seven men and astoundingly one in five women contributing to some form of cancer related deaths in the US alone.

High Fat Diets:

Studies have also been shown by the NIH (The National Institute of Health) that women who consume at least 40% of their nutrition from high fat foods, added a 15% chance of developing ****** cancer than those who only consumed about 20% of foods which contained a high concentration of fats.

Alcohol and Cancer:

While it is true that a glass of wine a day reduces many health problems, other alcohols such as hard liquors, mixed drinks, etc., actually increases the risk of ****** cancer. Yet even with lower doses of daily alcohol usage, ****** cancer is increased by 35%. And that number increases by 7% with each drink per day in what is called as DDS (Dose-Dependant-State).. Good news however; studies have shown that decreasing your intake of alcohol or quitting altogether will reverse the risk.

Exercise:

For many years, research has found that exercise has been known to decrease the risks of ****** cancer. Exercising only 20 minutes a day with some form of high intensity training can greatly reduce cancer and even help towards your overall health.

With today’s increasing number of fast food chains, and our society working 60-70 hours per week, we tend to slack on the importance of our overall health. Women especially need to be concerned with the importance of keeping your bodies in tuned with daily exercise as well as your nutrition, the proper amount of rest, and drinking at least 64oz of water daily can reduce the risks of ****** cancer and help you achieve a solid foundation for living a longer life.

The case I’m talking about is 19 years old, with cancer that now spread to the bones. Her doctor gives her 3 months of life. I researched and found treatments for bone cancer, but they don’t specify whether or not they can really cure it. I would like to know the possibilities of her survival if one of the treaments is taken and how many years she can live due to treatment. I guess it’s not possible for her to become old…Thank you.

It can be primary or metastatic. What would the doctor tell them to do, eat, etc ?

Toxic substances surround us every day, in our food, water, medications, and especially the air we breathe. These toxins are extremely detrimental to the health of your liver, and your choice of liver support supplements can drastically affect this very important organ. Milk thistle has long been known for its liver supportive and protective qualities, and is the number one herbal supplement prescribed for most liver ailments. It has proven in various clinical studies to have a profound effect on the progression of fibrosis, and has been quite effective in slowing the rate of advancement of liver damage.

Most people are aware of the stages of liver disease: inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver failure. If not treated in the early stages, liver cancer (Hepatocellular carcinoma, or HCC) can develop. Milk thistle has been proven to help protect liver cells against further damage from harmful toxins, which speed up the progression of the above stages of liver disease. Supplementing with milk thistle in the early stages can keep the disease from quickly advancing towards liver cancer. In addition to keeping liver cells healthy, milk thistle can also help this vital organ regenerate new liver cells, in an effort to prevent any additional scar tissue from developing.

Milk thistle, or silymarin, is made up of three main components – and silybin is the most beneficial to the liver. This highly concentrated part of milk thistle has the most therapeutic effects on the liver. Research shows that not only is milk thistle anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory, but it has potent antioxidants and can block toxins from invading the liver.

Because it is an herbal supplement, the FDA has not approved milk thistle as a treatment for any condition or disease, including liver cancer. However, the clinical research offers hope that milk thistle’s proven ability to help fight liver disease makes it a viable liver cancer preventive method. Anyone with advancing liver disease can benefit from this therapeutic supplement that has no known contraindications or interactions.

For many men diagnosed with testicular cancer, they attribute it to pure luck that they found out. There are a number of atypical symptoms when examined together would normally raise a red flag. However, quite a few men are likely to ignore these symptoms when they are not experienced together. It is usually either a diagnostic test run for another illness or even a chance finding of a lump that kicks off the quest in diagnosing testicular cancer.

Doctors and cancer specialists report that testicular cancer is more likely to be caught early when men conduct routine self-examinations of their *********. The first step in the treatment and cure of this type of cancer starts with self-discovery. This is very similar to what women do when they conduct self-breast exams every month. As males of all ages can get testicular cancer, boys starting in adolescence should be educated in how to conduct self-examinations. Their primary car physician can usually show them during their yearly physicals.

Pick a day of the month, like the first day to perform the test so that it is easy to remember. These examinations are best conducted after a warm shower or bath. The heat allows the scrotal area to relax, thus being able to spot any abnormalities quicker during the exam. Also, you will want to follow through with the following practices:

1. In front of a mirror, look at the scrotal sac for any swelling or abnormality of size from one ******** to another.

2. Inspect each testicle, one at a time, using both of your hands. The middle and index fingers should be placed on the bottom of the ******** with the thumbs placed on the top. In this position, softly roll each ******** around. You are feeling for any abnormalities like lumps or even swelling or pain.

3. Ensure you do not mistake your epididymis with a suspicious lump. The epididymis is the tubal structure which carries ***** and is located behind the testes. Many lumps that turn out to be cancerous are located on the sides or even the front of the ********.

4. If you find anything that you deem suspicious or just unsure about, make an appointment with your primary care physician. There are plenty of reasons why a lump could be on your ******** that have nothing to do with cancer. However, in order to find this out, you must be checked out by a doctor. If the lump seems suspicious to them, they will refer you to a specialist who will conduct several diagnostic tests to make sure.

Maintaining good health starts with banishing any fears about “what could happen.” Get rid of any self-conscious thoughts about manipulating yourself in the groin area (like men have never done that before anyway). Unless you enlist someone’s help, no one is going to know that you conduct self-examinations of your *********. Sticking your head in the sand and ignoring the possibility of cancer could be spelling your own death sentence. Be proactive in your health and you will enjoy it for years to come.

I’ve peed a lot in the past hour. I’m starting to freak out because I heard that if you’re ****** a lot, you could have prostate cancer. I think that usually men in the forties are the ones who get prostate cancer.

Is it possible that I could have it even though I’m almost 18 right now? Trust me, I have peed a lot in the past hour.

VIVA LA RAZA!

My son has stage 2A test cancer non sen….Is it common to delay treatment to see if his white blood count goes up?This would be his 2nd cycle. They don’t want to raise it with medication. Does this change his prognosis. He has no tumor markings, however they saw something in his lymph nodes.
