I just found this out today. He's a very formidable man, so he's putting on a facade to take it well.. but I can see it in his eyes that he's nervous, it's very difficult to watch.
I would really appreciate it if you guys could keep him in your prayers when you're at church or temple.

Vito your father is in my thoughts and prayers. An older fellow I work with just finished treatments for prostate cancer and the doctors feel he made a full recovery. This guy smokes packs a day and the treatments still did their job. Doctors can do quite a bit with this form of illness today. G-d willing your father will be fine.

Vito - I will be praying for your Dad.
My Father - in - Law was treated for Prostrate Ca about 15 years ago.
He made a full recovery too!
Be strong.
Keep up his spirits and make sure he eats well.

I will. You have been a great person and I wish the best for you and your family.

Thanks for all the support friends.. I've read up on it the whole day, it seems to be a very curable cancer when caught in the early stages. His father and brother died of cancer, as well as two of my mother's sisters, so when he hears "cancer" he automatically thinks death. I guess seeing my father nervous made me feel a bit weak myself, I've never seen that before.

Vito, I promise my prayer for your Dad to be healed by God!

God who performed so many healing miracles in the Bible is still the same!

this might help a bit.

LONDON (Reuters) - Just a few more portions of broccoli each week may protect men from prostate cancer, British researchers reported on Wednesday.

The researchers believe a chemical in the food sparks hundreds of genetic changes, activating some genes that fight cancer and switching off others that fuel tumors, said Richard Mithen, a biologist at Britain's Institute of Food Research.

..
The broccoli eaters showed about 400 to 500 of the positive genetic changes with men carrying a gene called GSTM1 enjoying the most benefit. About half the population have the gene, Mithen said.
