Hi Iris

Sorry to read your post,I would ask at the hospital I'm sure they'll offer good advise for any benifits.

Hope all goes well.

Hi Iris
I'm sorry to hear your OH has Prostate Cancer I think you should just carry on as you normally do right now.You can always ask for any advice when you next see his Doctor.Treated early ,the prognosis for P C is good.I hope all goes well.

Hi Iris~~

Sorry to hear of your OH diagnosis :((

My dad dad a prostate op under local anaesthetic when he was 90.
I'm afraid I can't give you any details except he uttered a few swear words whilst undergoing the op ( it had to be local cos of his age and his heart probs )

The op was totally successful, I hope your GP or hosp can give you advice:)
I'm sorry I without googling , which I will do, I wasn't given any advice re diet when dad had his op.

Best wishes to you and OH, unless told otherwise carry on as normal:))

hi iris my brother has prostate cancer he was given no advice on changing his diet. it does not neccasary mean that on op will be carried out , my brother has had it for nine months now and had several scans they told him as it has not spread an op is not needed. he can live with this ok and that if it stays like that they may never operate. and that he is more than likely die of something unrelated.

Hi Iris, My husband was told he had this last January. Unfortunately his had spread to the bone. He is on female hormone treatment and is very well and active. He puts this down to eating corned beef sarnies with mustard. Even though his has spread the prognosis is good and he has been told it will probably not be this which finally kills him. On the lighter side, he had been to Tescos and brought some flowers. It was after 10 30pm when he came in and I said "you needn't think I'm arranging these before I go to bed". Next morning an arrangement was sitting on the window ledge. I said to him tell the hospital I know the injections are working, you've taken up flower arranging.Elaine.

thank you one and all for your replys , he is off in a few minutes for his first scan ... he is still laughing ,having read some of your replys . iris

I hope they dont recommend,

a salad diet,,,, indefinatey...}}.
