Nonsense…this statement is not true! There are several options open to physicians after androgen deprivation. This is grossly misleading. Speak to your physician, and don’t buy off on this pseudo-scientific bilge!

“For those whose tumors have grown beyond the confines of the prostate the disease cannot be cured by either surgery or radiation”

Further evidence that who ever wrote this article is uninformed. My prostate cancer had breached the prostate capsule. I had external beam radiation therapy for seven weeks. It has been almost nine years and I have non-detectable levels of PSA. This is a clear indication of the absence of any cancerous prostate cells in my body.

“impotence after the surgery but this can be controlled by common medications.”

Th above is the purest form of ignorance about neural pathway destruction. Once the nerves controlling the brains neural signals impacting blood flow and vascular contraction, are destroyed by radiation damage, they cannot be re-established, with surgery, or medication. Prostetic devices can be implanted within the penis to overcome the erectile dysfunction and have proven quite effective. Bladder control is the same, although some surgical techniques have proven helpful in regaining some levels of continence.

Who wrote this? How, in good conscience, can this level of misinformation be published as fact?
