Stage 4 prostate cancer may sound worse than it is.  The statistics include men who die from other causes.  Remember, a lot of men are old anyway when they get this disease, and when they die, they get included in the statistics.  This means, if a 95 year old man has stage 4 prostate cancer and dies within 3 years, he will be included in the statistic of men who don’t make it.  This is ridiculous because there is a high chance that any 95 year old man will die within 3 years.  If you have it and read the gloomy statistics, remember that they are skewed to make it look worse than it is.  Also, because many people don’t understand this concept, they literally scare themselves to death.  This is from a slow release of toxic negative hormones that deep fear causes.  Try to remain positive and get all the info you can.  You can beat these statistics based on just the few reasons I mentioned.  They sound simple but they are very important.  People who think they will die have a much higher chance of dying than those who believe they have a shot.  The truth is you do have a great chance to make it and it’s important you think that way.
