Being diagnosed with cancer is never fun. I was not even expecting my diagnosis. In fact, I felt as if I was completely healthy. I was having an exam to determine if I possibly had this type of cancer, and sure enough, my doctor made the diagnosis. I was suprised until he talked to me about the Causes of prostate cancer. I found out that my age, 70, was the average age for this type of diagnosis. I also found out that the large amount of red meat I consumed each day, and the low amount of fruits and vegetables did not help matters.
