What does prostate cancer feel like?

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

I mean just in terms of general discomfort… not involving sticking hands up butts and feeling around.

See… I’ve got this interesting pain just a tiny bit northward of my groinal parts…. a rather inexplicable and temporary pain, but uncomfortable in an amusing sort of way regardless.

I know my family are rather prone to cancer… my mother’s father and my own father both having died of it… and since one in three people die of cancer at some point, I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d go the same way (unless I voluntarily end myself before that).

I’m just wondering if pains in that region could indicate cancer at all or whether its just something else. It didn’t go away when I went for a p!ss… so its not bladder issues, I imagine…

Oh…. and no… I’m not going to see a doctor.
If it is cancer, I fully intend to just suffer it out to whatever end it may bring.
[Note to theists: life is not sacred... its an accident, and is fundamentally worthless, including mine.]
[Response to first answer]: I could counter your question by asking "Why not bother?" … I just want to know… thats all. I suppose for the same reason you might want to know what your brother’s girlfriend is like, assuming you have a brother with a girlfriend. Its just curiosity… plain and simple.
[Note to Dogzilla]: Pain for the most part is just a random sensation to me. I have been adapting to deconnect it from any emotional triggers… and so I don’t mind it any more. However, it is safe to say that having doctors fiddling with my parts would make me psychologically uncomfortable. As such the physical pain is generally the lesser of two evils (except when its particularly extreme, since the emotion-disconnection process isn’t perfected yet).
One might say I am taking the path to Nihilistic enlightenment….. or resolution of the self.

well, even if you DO see a doctor, it’s not like he can force you to receive treatment. i agree with you on the accidental, futile nature of life, but i figure, if i’m alive now, i might as well enjoy it as much as possible and have as fun and fulfilling a life as possible.

so if i were you, i’d go to the doctor. if it was something easily treatable that wouldn’t infringe on my life (such as a daily pill or something), i’d take the treatment. if i found out it was cancer, i’d just refuse treatment and enjoy the remainder of my life as much as possible.

i’m sure you agree when i say i’d rather have 6 months of good, functional living and then die, as opposed to spending 5 years on chemo, and finally dying miserably.

oh, and to really answer your question, i’m sorry, i have no idea what prostate cancer feels like, though i hear that since it causes your prostate to swell, it usually causes difficulty urinating, very frequent urinating, or painful urinating.

It all depends on the person and how bad it is and how strong the person is. My dad had prostate cancer for many many years and lived to be 90. They have very good treatments today.
