Cancer. It is a real peril to our very existence. If left to develop to a malignant state, it becomes incurable, and death becomes imminent. Many medical professionals say that as of now, the best way to deal with cancer is through early detection. Knowing that cancer cells exist while they are still benign can, and will, save the patient's life. Knowing this fact rather belatedly, on the other hand, would lead to fatal results.

Prostate cancer is one such disease. At its early stages, prostate doctors claim that the patient's chances of survival is a guaranteed 100%, At its latter stages, however, the survival rate is reduced to 34% for the next five years only. Yes, the situation is that grave.

So what should a person do once he is diagnosed to have prostate cancer at its latter stages? Two prostate doctors share their thoughts on the matter.

Doctor Erwin Gonzales always fears those moments. "It's hard to tell someone that there is hope when chances of survival are quite nil," he said. "As much as possible, I try to view things in a spiritual manner. We're all living on borrowed time, in a manner of speaking. A Greater Power awaits us on the other side, and if this is His will, let His will be done."

Doctor Florence Oliver has a contrary belief. "There is always hope," he said. "Stranger things have happened because of this thing that we call faith. Most of these things my extensive experience fail to explain. It's either there is a cure for cancer that we have yet to discover and is unknowingly applied, or prayers are sometimes enough to carry us through some rough waters. I tell such patients the truth. I cannot lie. I can't give them false hope. But I do tell them that hope is within them, and they should never give up."

Indeed, prostate doctors are often placed in a compromising position whenever they are tasked to inform the patient and/or his family that the tumor has become malignant. Statistics aren't really in these prostate doctors' favor. They deal with the situation in different ways.

Dr. Gonzales, for example, asks his patients to take the practical approach: enjoy life to the fullest. It's not how long one has to live, it's how that life is lived that counts.

Dr. Oliver recommends stronger faith. Stranger things have happened, and we'll never know what the future has in store, grim medical pronouncements notwithstanding.

Nevertheless, all doctors have one, unified advice about the problem: never think that you'll be spared from this killer disease. Prostate cancer is a deadly ailment, but it can be avoided, or at the very least treated, with proper diligence and care at the earliest possible time.
