About Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is a cancer of the prostate gland, a walnut-sized gland present in men, that lies below the bladder and in front of the rectum. Almost all prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas (cancers that begin in the cells that make and release mucus and other fluids). Prostate cancer is usually slow growing and may take years to become large enough to be detected, often without any noticeable symptoms. Some types of prostate cancer may need minimal or no treatment, other types are aggressive and can spread quickly.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in American men, behind lung cancer and colorectal cancer. In 2017, the American Cancer Society estimated that 161,360 men will be newly diagnosed with prostate cancer and 26,730 men will die from the disease — though many of them had lived with the disease for years prior to their deaths.

There are rare forms of prostate cancer as well which include: Sarcomas, Small cell carcinomas, Neuroendocrine tumors (other than small cell carcinomas) and Transitional cell carcinomas.

Sharon | Multiple Sclerosis

" With your help I am able to purchase the drugs that will help me finally beat this illness and be rid of it for good. Thank you so much. "

Stan | Hepatitis C

" The appropriate place to start is to express my appreciation for your participation in my cancer fighting efforts. Upon hearing the expected cost of the [prescribed cancer fighting therapy] my immediate thought was that cancer would be a contributing cause of my death since that level of expenditure would never fit into a retired teacher’s budget. Therefore please accept my sincere thanks… "

Ray | Multiple Myeloma

" The impact has been lifegiving. Without your financial assistance, I would not have had the resources to afford the treatments that I need. We have talked with a number of people on your staff, and everyone has been helpful and professional, and most importantly, has seemed genuinely interested in my well-being. I am grateful beyond words. "

Curtis | Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Sally | Myelodysplastic Syndrome

" …PAF helps people obtain much needed medications for their illnesses…I was so happy and relieved to receive this generous grant. Having a life threatening disease is stressful enough, but the relief of this financial burden is truly a blessing… "
