Drink have half a cup of pomegrante juice too.Another thing for the brothers in this thread.
Since my dad had his prostate removed, my doctor told me I should start taking ZINC while I'm still relatively young.
He said its great for shrinking prostates and overall prostate health.

I'm 57. I'll be 58 in AugustI went through this with someone and I wish you the best. It was not easy, but please do what the Dr says after surgery. I can make a world of difference.
May I ask how old are you?
Thank you for this info! Because I have cancer in my family, I started having my screenings early (I'm 42) but I've been using my pcp. Will definitely keep this in mind.Black men who served in the military are also twice as likely to get prostate cancer.
So if you are a veteran, who goes to the VA for medical treatment, please have your PSA check.
You can also file a disability claim for it.
Good morning everyone.
I would like to thank everyone for their support.
Surgery was a success!!
The surgery was 3 hours longer than expected. Total of 8 hours.
Right now I'm very sore but tolerating it.
I have a great nurses who are looking out for me.
Two brothers actually.
As far a the surgery, doctors were able to save the nerves that gives erections.
No other cancer was detected.
Later today they want me to try sitting up and even walking.
I'll keep y'all posted
Again thanks to everyone for their support and prayers.
God bless all of y'all.
Hope all went well fam.Diagnosed with prostate cancer April 2024 and having surgery on July 1.
