Because my brother has it.
Because I recalled reading that for colon cancer, it is no longer curable once it is in the fourth stage. Whereas for prostate cancer, the reading says that in the 3rd and 4th stages, chances of recovery are low. It doesn't say that it's no longer curable like it does for colon cancer.
prostate is smaller area
Treatment types that you would undergo.
i know people that have reoovered from prostate cancer but never have met someone who recover from colon cancer.
the gland can be removed
prostate is localized, the surgery is not that evasive--yet it still is considered major surgery. rest is essential.
Because it's localized in the prostate?
From experience through a family memberv
A more localized cancer.
Because we knew someone who had it .And they recovered quite quickly
because I want my dad to be ok
Information
Because my dad had prostate cancer and i know his treatment has shrunk his cancer rapidly.
Guess
It is more localized and slower growing. Colon is part of the digestive system which feeds the body
Read it prior to question
the prostate can be removed
ive had it
I have someone n family that had/has it and took radiation to shrink and stop it.
survival of both
I have had colon cancer and had surgery and chemotherapy - 5 rounds. I had one month of recovery after the surgery and had to take a week off for each round of chemotherapy with a few additional days the following week to deal with the after effects of the chemotherapy. I now have prostrate cancer and will go in for brachytherapy next Friday and plan on being back at work the following Monday (hopefully). At this point it seems that the prostate cancer treatment is less impact on my life.
its localized in the prostrate.
From what I "just read "!!...
Because it's concentrated in the prostate
i have prostae cancer had 2 psa test 0.01 and a third one soon.should i be concerned about colon cancer
1 and 2 stages are curable
IDK guess
Just guessing: Prostate cancer sends out more warning signals (pee a lot, erectile dysfunction, etc) that prompt you to check it out. In addition, the prostate is smaller, more accessible and, for lack of a better word, a peripheral. The colon, meanwhile, is a deep labyrinth of hidden surprises and dark secrets housed in a toxic waste site. Distress signals often come too late, and clean-up is a--ahem--**** shoot. Like I said, just guessing ...
Because the prostate serves one purpose, to lubricate the ether to help discharge the supermarket. A prostatitis is easier to discover and treat because the symptoms that show up early as well as the early detection of prostate cancer.
Colon cancer on the other hand has few systems that can definitely say it is indeed colon cancer. With colonoscopy, the patient has to spend one day prepping for it by drinking this stuff your doctor gives you to clean out your bowels. Stick close to the toilet and have plenty of toilet paper to wipe and be gentle as your **** will become sour with everything coming out. The next data you go get colonoscopy where they put a gown on you, have lay on your side, give you an IV with medicine in it to help you relax/fall asleep. After that, the doctor slides a long hose with a camera and snips on the end to view the colon and to cut out any pulps the pulps. When that is done, they wake you up, you get dressed, go home and wait for the results.
i had it removed
Prostate cancer is centralized to the prostate, Colon Cancer affects the colon, appendix and the **** giving more chances of spreading if found in the later stages.
Smaller area to deal with.
