More than 200,000 men die from prostate cancer each year. If you’re man, you face a high risk of ultimately getting prostate cancer. But it is not only the man who is affected by the disease. Prostate cancer is a family disease, and the spouse is usually heavily involved in his care and has to cope with the physical and emotional changes of their partner. This week on Line One, Dr. Michael Diefenbach (pictured right) from Healing Choices for Men with Prostate Cancer joins host Dr. Thad Woodard to discuss the three most important questions every man should ask about prostate cancer.
