The paragraph on treatment is devoid of any real information. Hormonal therapy is used only in certain circumstances. For better information than what is provided here, go to any major hospital’s or cancer center’s web site to learn about the many different treatment options for prostate cancer.

Shouldn’t everyday doctors be informing their male patients (at any age) about what symptoms that heretofore were considered “normal” warrant a trip to an informed clinic for testing? All too many of we men think that age, a malfunctioning organ, or pain is “the” sign of prostate problems. Too many doctors will ask for our systems and let us go home with, “Now be sure to get in touch with me if you get worse.” Their lab tests ought to be performed right then and there. This is one of the many fatal conditions that in years past we were told “…happen only to old folks.” No way.

No mention of Vitamin D??? Low levels of Vitamin D are associated with prostate cancer. That probably explains why black men are more likely to suffer from this disease. However, 85% of the population are deficient in Vitamin D.
