Have Fun Despite Your Parkinson’s Disease!

When someone is affected by Parkinson’s, they may feel like an outcast and be socially withdrawn from the world.  Feeling alone is common, and the person may be embarrassed by their disabilities.  As loved ones, we must see past these hurdles and help them feel included.  According to Everyday Health, there are many things that we can do to achieve this goal.  For instance, exercising is encouraged and important to treat Parkinson’s disease, helping to slow down the progress of the disease and retain some mobility.  Just remember to allow adequate rests for the patient in between these exercise sessions and make it a family routine.  Next, Parkinson’s patients can also benefit from playing games, which allow the patient to be mentally stimulated while bonding with loved ones.  Other fun activities that Parkinson patients can enjoy include singing karaoke, reading, and going to church.  All of the suggested ideas can surely break the person out of isolation, and feel the love from everyone around.

Understanding Prostate Cancer Recurrence

Prostate cancer is one of the more curable cancer when detected at the early stages, and many can live 5 years cancer free according to the Prostate Cancer Foundation.  However, prostate cancer is also a tricky disease as it is slow to grow from initial treatments and therapies, and about 20-30% of patients are estimated to show signs of recurrence of the disease after the 5 years mark.  Using PSA levels, it can indicate the disease’s progression well before other symptoms or signs may occur. While it is an indicator, it is not the only sign of an recurrence of the disease.  If you are one of those who have previously cured prostate cancer, speak with your doctor about the possible chances of recurrence and see if you should get tested for such event.
