Prostate Cancer

I do not know what to do with these new morning. A mixture of vacuum (not knowing what to think) and the shock still pains my heart. My childhood crush, I have not seen for more than two years may be dying of prostate cancer. It has spread to the stomach.
I would ask if it is common among young men (20)
and if genetics plays a major role?
(He is the father died of prostate cancer before his birth.)
Is there any chance of survival?

Prostate cancer is generally prevalent among men over 50, so it is rare in men under 45 years. Many factors, including genetics and diet, have been implicated in the development of prostate cancer. His father had prostate cancer that would genetically acquired.

Its survival depends on stage of his cancer now. It seems that it had already spread to other organs according to your description, it depends Ho now it has disappeared and the tumor size if there are none. The onset of his cancer cells (Gleason score) would also tell her prognosis. The doctor knows and who can say. Anyway, just by your brief description we can not say what exactly happens. It may have different treatments available, it is still young so let's just extend your prayers and moral support will count a lot.

As a victim of prostate cancer, I can say from my experience that if your friends are actually serious. Be a part of his support team .... He will need his family and friends. Report Abuse

Genetics did u get more susceptible to cancer. Unfortunately what you just described does not sound good. The chances of survival are not zero, but small. Just terrible news! Sorry to hear.

The survival prognosis is not good. What your friend's father is dead too (say under 40), suggests that genetics is involved.

Generally, men postrate problems arise when they reach 50 years, and they are encouraged to test for PSA and exams postrate, usually every six months.
