How unusual is this? (Prostate cancer) [View all]
I found out tonight that one of my brothers just got diagnosed with prostate cancer. One-and-a-half years ago I lost a brother to a brain tumor, and ten years ago another brother died from lung cancer.
So that's three of my brothers (out of six of us) to get cancer.
That seems like a high rate.
My brother will decide in three weeks whether to opt for chemo, removal of the prostrate, or the implanting of tiny radiated 'seeds' into his prostrate. He just turned 74.
