a-1 home care santa monica elder care

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.
