A message from a man diagnosed with prostate cancer (Part three)

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

Radiotherapy of prostate cancer.

So in Part 2, I left you just after my treatment had ended. We had finally finished the daily trip. I have to say the hospital team was fantastic, so yes it was a long trip – each day there and back, but they helped a lot to ease the feeling on this. The treatment itself (the radiotherapy) did not cause me any pain or reaction which was just as well as I was driving. I was warned by the consultant that at the latter end of the treatment there might be issues with my skin around the area being treated, but I was fortunate enough not to have this happen to me.

A message from a man diagnosed with prostate cancer

Introduction.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common and fortunately the most curable tumor of men. Early diagnosis of the cancer is the key player in the effectiveness of the cure affecting the quality of life, longevity following the treatment, and the ultimate verdict: hopeful or hopeless. This is a message from Keith Rickman, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer a year ago and passed the treatment from the very beginning to the end. The message is to those men who are potentially at risk, to their wives, partners, sisters, daughters, to everyone who loves them. Do not let the fear of cancer diagnosis, daily hassle, and false hope to take away your loved ones.

Natural treatment of enlarged prostate and prostatitis

Introduction.

Reading wonderful books by a great Romanian phytotherapist Prof. Ovidiu Bojor, inspired me (about me) to write this post on the natural treatment of enlarged prostate and prostatitis. Prof. Ovidiu Bojor – the father of modern Romanian phytotherapy, has put all his energy into discovering the best recipes that could make our life more beautiful, longer, and healthier. This man, who climbed the Himalayas four times, in his 95 still working 8-10 hours a day, always resilient, better than anything else, is demonstrating on the example of his life that living in harmony with nature is the best way to healthy living. His books are indispensable landmarks for anyone who is craving to live a healthy and happy life.
