Apparently, my dad has prostate cancer.

<p>What the flying fudge, seriously. =(</p>

<p>At least he's getting it treated while it's in the early stages. So he says it's not too serious.</p>

<p>I also find it awkward that I'm the last in my family to know. >.></p>

<p>Hugs to you.

<p>dude i'm sorry man.</p>

<p>so sorry.i hope he gets better soon.</p>

<p>Sorry to hear that. </p>

<p>I know it's difficult, but please try not to worry too much... My grandpa's cancer was found out in an early stage too and he recovered real well. Chances are good it would turn out fine.</p>

<p>she probably doesn't want to be referred to as a man when she just found out her dad has a disease lol.</p>

<p>haha ^^</p>

<p>but yeah that really sucks. sorry to hear about that. my grandma had leukemia in it's early stages and was in remission in like five months.</p>

<p>also, almost every man gets prostate cancer sometime in their lifetime, a lot of men die of nat. causes before it sets in though.</p>

<p>same goes for women with breast cancer. except less likely as men and prostate cancer.</p>

<p>er...woman</p>

<p>"I also find it awkward that I'm the last in my family to know."</p>

<p>I'm guessing that your parents didn't want to tell you until they were sure of the diagnosis and had some idea about the prognosis and treatment. They didn't want to unnecessarily worry you.</p>

<p>I've had 3 screenings for possible cancer that I didn't tell my kids about. Fortunately, it ended up that I didn't have cancer, so it was good that I hadn't unnecessarily worried them. I would have told them if I had had cancer.</p>
