Hello Kurbkrawler00,

 

You didn't mention if your physician had prescribed any medication. If your prostate is enlarged as well as cancerous, you might want to ask if taking a medication like Flomax or Avodart for enlarged prostate would help. You can read about Avodart here, you can read about Flomax here.

 

Dr Jay Motola also wrote an article that discusses alternatives to Avodart and Flomax. You can read the article here.

 

Make sure you talk to your doctor and ask lots of questions. Nothing takes the place of your doctor's professional advice.
