Blessings to you, Holmes. My dad had the seeding 5 years ago and he is doing well now.
Sorry, not a grain of truth to that. I did HOURS AND HOURS on net searches for my dad on this subject and almost all forms of prostate cancer are so slow-growing that few men will actually die of it. In fact, my uncle who found out he had it at 70, they didn't do anything for him because they said he would die of old age before prostate cancer ever caught up to him.
To me, the far more staggering stat that I found was this: about the same amount of men will die this year from prostate cancer as women will from breast cancer, but breast cancer research receives almost 50 times more public and private funding.
Did you know that 50% of all American males who die this year will die because of prostate cancer?

My mother in law is battling cancer, right now it is in remission. Also one of the girls I was involved with in my early 20s had had cancer so I'm no stranger to both cancer and the effects of treatment. 
Believe me I will get checked when I become of age, one of my best friends from my teenage years father had prostate cancer and he made sure to give us tons of warnings.
