A Modern Version of the Hippocratic Oath. I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant: I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
Prostate cancer 'raises breast risk for daughters': Women's risk increases by 14% if their father or brother suffered the disease. Women whose father or brother has prostate cancer are more likely to develop breast cancer, research shows.
My husband is 52 and recently diagnosed. Unfortunately this type of cancer is not entirely new to us. Less than 2 years ago his 86 year old father died of advanced prostate cancer. My husband has been very proactive about getting regular tests and checks for PC. His Dr. assured him there was no problem. Eventually he had pain/discomfort in his groin. In the area between his scrotum and rectum. He was treated for prosateitis but the pain continued. Eventually he got to a urologist and had a biopsy, bone scan, cat scan etc. The urologist told us it was PC, we caught it early, and recommended teatment options.
