Your friend is in our thoughts and prayers. Do you know if his cancer was caught early or is more advanced? Do you feel comfortable asking him? Bobcat had prostate cancer in 1999. It was caught in the early stages. His doctor implanted radioactive seeds (like grains of rice) in his prostate, right on the cancer. The seeds stay "hot" for 70 days and they completely killed the cancer. He didn't need chemo nor radiation. He has been completely cancer free for 5 years now.

Perhaps this isn't an option for your friend. It worked for Bobcat. He was never sick at all, though he did have to wear a catheter for quite awhile until all the swelling went down.
