Women, how do you feel about men who suffer or died from prostate cancer

Women, how do you feel about men who suffer or died from prostate cancer?
Men, how do you feel about women who suffer or died from gynecological cancers (breast, ovary cancer, etc...)? I'm not posting this in the "Health" section, because I know that medical staff or people into medicine see it the same way as any other diseases. How about you? Oh, and be sincere. Don't limit yourself to pay lip service about this. Furthermore, we all know that because of social prejudices, some diseases are more a motive of shame than others. It's sad, but it's true.

it must be embarrassing to them but it's totally not their fault so i don't make a big thing of it, that would be too shallow.
2 :
I feel sympathy for the individual and their families. Beyond making yourself aware of family medical history, monthly self-exams and routine physicals, there is nothing really these people can do to prevent these specific diseases. What exactly are you getting at?
3 :
What? How could there be shame to having any form of cancer? I don't understand exactly what you're asking here.
4 :
I feel the same way toward them as I would with anyone suffering from any form of cancer. If you feel that having prostate cancer is 'shameful' then its time for you grow up.

My father in law had prostate cancer and this makes me worry about my husband developing it. I read about ways to prevent this disease.Low carb is one way to prevent this. Oh and sex is a good preventative, so I make sure that I sex him a lot. I also encourage him to eat a low carb diet. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2004/04/07/MNGS161ML91.DTL http://story.israelherald.com/index.php/ct/9/cid/a1e025da3c02ca7c/id/299770/cs/1/

Men and women face cancer together. See what happened to Roberto when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
