Fortunately both my parents have lived through breast and prostrate cancer. I don't remember how my mom dealt with it, but it wasn't too bad. Dad handled it like a champ.

My dad was diagnosed with prostate canser Friday.
I am seeing what I expected to see..
I know for myself I never really thought about it. I knew some folks who had to deal with it but until it took my father well thats when it really sunk in..
Please keep sharing your stories and experiences...

Not a pleasant subject but Fact of Life.
Watched my dad battle with Lymphoma and prostate cancer for the last 15 years. Pasted away 22 months ago. Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He never bitched or cursed the Lord for any of this.
I get my PSA's and white blood cell count checked 2 times a year along with all my many other blood tests.
If it runs in the family, get checked yearly is the best advise from my doctor.

Don't forget the finger test. Not fun, but it's really more reliable than the PSA test...
Prostate cancer is really quite treatable if detected early. If you wait too late, then it will spread to the bones, making them brittle and prone to fracture...then there is nothing that can be done (other than a palliative type of treatment).

Did I forget to mention that I get that one too.
Patricia Nyquist.. My grandma, my mom, and my best friend. It's selfish of me to want her here considering the toll cervical cancer took on her but I would do anything to go through this process again.. She showed me what unconditional meant..
She didn't like people seeing her sick so I did my best to honor that. Here's one of many photos I took while honoring this..

I lost my grandmother and my grandfather because of cancer. And I'm loosing my mom too, she is fighting it but there is no chance for her anymore.
She is very strong, they gave her just a few month, but now its 1,5 years and she is still pretty fine.
She took part in a test for a new therapy and it stopped growing for a few months but now it seems to go faster than expected.
Its pretty hard to live with this every day, there are so much things I know she would love to do, but its just not possible anymore.
I'm trying to make her a little surprise on saturday, my cousin visits us (from rome in italy) and brings us her favourite pizza from there (to germany).
Even if it sounds stupid to drive through half of europe for a pizza, I think it will make her happy.
This all got me more than I thought, I can't sleep very good since 1.5 years. I have problems to concentrate at work, I was one of the best mechanics there, now I have to worry about to keep my job.
I'm feeling like its some kind of depression what i got.
Don't know how to work with that.
Sorry for the bad english, never had to write something like this in english.

Did that guy ever get out of trouble with the FDA and Texas Board of Medical Examiners?
I Lost an uncle to lung cancer when I was a kid.
My stepfather had colon cancer and survived it.
Recently he got real sick and was diagnosed with gastric cancer and it killed him in less than two weeks. I was there with almost the whole time in hospice care at the hospital. That was some heavy shit.
**** cancer.
Let's not forget Chip Cross who is fighting with cancer as we speak.
