Exercise may help cut colon cancer risk in men.: An article from: Family Practice News

My boyfriend and I just started dating a few months ago — we got close really fast and both fell in love as well. He is 30 yrs old and just recently got diagnosed with stage 3 prostate cancer. We are ALSO in a long distance relationship. He has told me several times that I’m not doing a good job of being supportive and during different arguments he will always say “fine I’ll just go thru this treatment alone I don’t need your help”. I wanted to go with him to appointments and to his first treatment friday but he WON’T LET ME! Ever since then I have received all of 3 texts…I’ve told him how hurt I am by him not wanting me to be there and since I’m not physically there to KNOW what’s going on, I have to ask questions and then he says I’m annoying with questions…but he barely tells me anything..I have no clue what hospital he has been to, no clue how treatment even went, he had to go back to the hospital after complications,etc etc. I just can’t understand why he is shutting me out esp. when he tells me he loves me. How can he tell me I’m not being supportive yet refuses to even let me be, or says the effort I AM doing (being positive, loving, asking questions, researching, asking other cancer patients about experience) isn’t good enough. He also says I don’t “have any idea the type of person he is and I have no idea about the kind of support I should be giving”. I’ve talked to people, researched cancer support websites and I don’t really see how I’m far off with what I’m TRYING to do. He tells me he wants to get married and have a family someday…but you can’t just push people out during critical times — I don’t know many married people who tell there wife or husband they can’t talk to them or be there with them during treatment. A significant other is one of the FIRST people I would want with me. Can anyone help me to understand this?
I’m not trying to be selfish and I realize it is a confusing time but at the same time we ARE in a relationship. If he would rather just concentrate on treatment then we shouldn’t even be a couple right now and I can just be a friend. I don’t think I can last much longer being hurt by someone I care deeply for acting like I’m the last person they want to see and not even wanting to let them know basic information about what’s going on. I know breaking up with someone during treatment would be horrible but I’m extremely hurt by these choices

a family member has stage 3 prostate cancer. his insurance is declining to pay saying it was a pre exsisting condition. where should he go for help. obviously time is of the essence.

I have advanced prostate cancer and have completed my external beam radiation, both full pelvic treatment and boost targeting the prostate only.

I have had my second hormone shot, every three months, and can’t get a straight answer out of either my Urologist or Oncologist. I have hot flashes, as most do, and chills, but my problem is the stickyness. I feel sticky, I feel that I have an odor, my wife insists I don’t, and if I lick my fingers, as you might as if you are dealing cards, my fingers stick togeather.

I see my GP next week, should I ask him to send me to OB/GYN? I know that sounds silly, a man going to one, but no one else has an answer. Maybe someone who deals with womens problems may have the answer.

Have you had this problem? How did you deal with it?
If I’m correct the hormones women take for breast cancer are different than what men take for prostate cancer.
I’m still looking for answers from men taking hormone therapy for prostate cancer.

I’ll extend this to see if any answer.
Thank you everyone, I went to my G.P. yesterday and he informed me that my reaction to the hormone shots, Trelstar LA is normal and it will go away when I am taken off hormone therapy.

Thanks again
