My dad has prostate cancer which has spread to his bones. He is 62. The cancer is very aggressive. He has had radiation and on other meds. On Friday we go to the Cancer clinic for his PSA levels and to find out if its spread. If its not spread and gotten better my dad will be so happy as will i. If its worse i'm seriously afraid my dad will go downhill fast. Please pray for a miracle.

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
Oh how sad! My dad's got an eye on his PSA levels, but fortunately they don't require radiation or seed therapy yet... Gary's dad is dying of Pancreatic cancer.

Of course my prayers, thoughts and best wishes are with you and your family.

So far out in left field I got lost
I will put your Dad first on my prayer list tonight. I do know what you are going through. My Dad has the same thing and his health is not as good as I would like it to be. Take care of yourself also.

I'm so sorry. I hope all turns out well.
I work in a cancer center and know how anxious people get over their test results (with good reason).

Take care. I'll keep you & your dad in my thoughts & prayers.

I'm so sorry about Gary's dad. Pancreatic cancer is horrible. My aunt died of it. She went so fast that she didn't even get to have any treatment for it. You are in my thoughts & prayers too.

Out of curiosity. . . what kind of cancer runs in your family?
Have you seen a genetic counselor?
Some DNA tests are available for some types of cancers to see if you have a gene mutation (if your risk is high enough).

Also- many people fail to realize that cancer runs on both side of the family . . . . yes breast cancer can be passed down from your father. . . .

Lung cancer is usually caused by environmental factors. . . . (smoking, asbestos, radon, etc. . . . ). Cervical cancer is caused by HPV (sexually transmitted).
