[coookies]

...prostate cancer? the drs want him 2 take a biapsy test and he wont. how can we convince him to take the test....he understands the imprtance. He himself is a chiropracter. i think hes just scared , he needs to lay down to even get a shot...what can we do to get him to take the biopsy?

It can be cured if he catches it early. If not, he can die or loose important parts of his anatomy. It can always get worse.

Then there's a 50% chance he doesn't! Yes, I can thing of many things I'd rather do. but it only takes 5 minutes, then it's done, and in a few days, you know what's up! If caught early, it's one of the easier kinds of cancers to treat, if caught too late,............. you know what I mean. Tell him you want him to stay around for a long, long time.Let's find out exactly what we're dealing with.

My father is a workaholic and he would do anything then go to the doctors well, he has cancer. And it could have been taken care of right away if he went in. Because he delayed this he has a 30% survival rate that he will be here in five years.I don't mean to be mean but scare the shit out of him, pull stuff from the internet show him the facts. This is your father, knowledge is power.Also have the doctors explain the procedure. My father was the same way, he never had a shot since he was a little boy and never swallowed a pill. NOW every month he takes over 60 pills and has his blood drawn every two weeks under go chemo and have a port in his heart. I will be thinking of your father and hope it works out. Your father is in shock right now and that is okay. Give it a week and have people talk to him.I hope I helped, you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
