Q: Should I expect an advanced state of prostate cancer if the PSA level is of 45?
The father of a friend of mine has just been diagnosed with prostate cancer, his PSA is of 45, but till now there haven't been any noticeable symptoms, and we were wondering how advanced the cancer would be...
A: The staging and prognosis for Prostate Cancer is best determined by a biopsy interpreted by an oncologist. A PSA level of 45 sound like a lot, but the more important number will be the Gleason score from a biopsy, the number of cores affected from the biopsy sample, and the amount of involvement in each of the cores as a percentage. Other factors important to prognosis are the family history of the guy, and his age and general health condition.
While you are not expected to know what the doctor says to this fellow, you can just relax for now and be the kind attentive listener that your friend needs. The news is not great, but many men who have diagnosed prostate cancer eventually die from something else after living to a ripe old age. The PSA is not the whole answer and is much less important than the whole evaluation provided by the history of the fellow and the biopsy done.
Q: My father has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Well advanced the Dr. said.?
The Dr. feels he is too old(81) and has too many other health problems that it will be worse to treat than to leave alone. Where can I find information on life expentency if we do not treat his cancer. He does have multiable health problems that he suffers from now, that will probly take him before cancer. Will I need to find care for him if the cancer spreads into other areas? He already has bowel and urineating problems. Feel blind on what to expect, is there any studies on un treated cancer process and symptoms?
A: Most people who have prostate cancer die of something else.
Q: Not prostate cancer.What else can be wrong?Symptoms are...?
I need to find out what could be wrong with my dad.My father lives in Eastern Europe and he called me the other day saying that he is getting blood test done for prostate cancer.I freaked out and forgot to ask him why he thought he may have it.Also that he was gonna get ultrasound etc...He called today,said blood test results came back and it was negative for cancer cells so whatever they found b4 was not cancerous.But he said that for past year he had to go to bathroom many times especially in the middle of the night and even after he goes,he doesnt feel that he had emptied,like there was still urine left,so he will be having ultrasound done soon to see what may be wrong.He doesn't have UTI,he doesn't see blood in urine.What are other possible causes for these symptoms cause it's been going on for a long time.Thanx for all answers in advance.
A: In older people, prostate gland is enlarged due to age and Not due to anything else and that will cause the problems you mentioned. He will need to take a pill daily and the problem will be in check. ultimately he will some scrapping of his prostate, done by a long tube and then scrapping inside, he may need to stay in the hospital for a day or so. This is so common operation that may be one in a million will have problem, so I would not worry too much
Q: Am I supposed to urinate this much?
Over the last seven hours, I've had to use the restroom 7 times in order to urinate. Granted the fact that I drank five-six cans of juice, and three 16-oz. bottles of water, I'm still kinds nervous, considering I remember hearing about how constant urination can be possible symptoms of prostate cancer or diabetes. btw, I'm 15. Thanks in advance.
A: It's normal... I used the bathroom 13 times in 5 hours once... I drank so much that day.
On days I drink like 1 bottle of water a day I don't use the bathroom at all. It's actually better to urinate more then do it less.
