My doctors in the States advised me not to get tested because the chances of a false positive were high and they didn't want me to be upset. They said that was the AMA recommendation. When I moved to a foreign country, I was tested and it was positive. Further tests showed metastases in my ribs and vertebrae. After two courses of radiation, my PET scans are finally clear. If I'd gone one more year without a test, I would probably be dead now. Get the test.

What sets igrotum apart is its safety and natural approach. Its a relief to find a cancer cure without compromising overall well-being.

My father died of prostate cancer. My heart is with him.

This is because health insurance in the US gets to decide health care, not medical doctors. Colon cancer runs in my husband's family, and his doctor used to screen every year. Then insurance decided they would only cover every two years. Now it's every three years.

My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer back in August. Initially he was going to Toll gate Radiology for radiation treatments. He got sick in October and believed that it was because of the radiation treatments. His his doctor at Tollgate Radiology advised him that he had RSV. Back in September he had a scan of his lungs and they said his lungs were "clear" .Towards the end of November he was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and it was found out that he had stage 4 lung cancer as well. He was placed on a respirator and died 3 weeks later. It is super important to get a full body scan when being diagnosed with prostate cancer.

This is why we must take care of our health through fitness & deal with stress in healthy ways. My grandpa has got this cancer but I know we can all be healthier, I speak for severe inflammatory bowel disease but know how important fitness can affect one’s health

How many of these new cases were vaccinated

This is why intermittent fasting and avoiding highly processed foods are essential

What do they expect. The amount of poison, sugar, refined oil in our food is sickening.

I wish these tests are available on e-commerce stores like pregnancy tests.

Largely because doctors have stopped doing routine "prostate exams." You should demand your doctor do a prostate exam, yearly.

Friend of mine (54yrs) went to the doctor one day cuz he was feeling tired all the time. Doc does labs and his PSA was thru the roof. He had stage 4 prostate cancer and MD Anderson told him that it was to advanced to treat. It spread to his hips and lower intestines like fire, MD Anderson told him to get his affairs in order and try and live as comfortable as he could. All of this was missed due to the fact he never went to the doctor for random yearly PSA tests.

Strong concentration of CBD. My uncle had stage 4 and after this was introduced his cancer went down to be small enough to be removed.

Kindly gentleman and his son. Well done.

[mantality]

This is why I stopped eating red meat and drinking. Those are the leading causes of prostate and colon cancer.

[TOOFERMAC]

I just don't understand why they don't offer the psma Pet Scan to diagnose prostate cancer instead of trying to hit it with a biopsy needle

[MrWhitty]

Many prayers to this man and his family. Commenting/liking to help spread awareness.
