   My father had prostrate cancer and since they also found it early had no trouble curing it. I could be wrong but don’t see MS having any effect on the cancer.

   I don’t see why it would they are completely unrelated.
   Don’t you think the doctor would have mentioned it if it were a factor?

   Hi Ashley, I have had multiple sclerosis for twenty years now. Those of us with MS supposedly have compromised immune systems. As a consequence, we might have a more difficult time fighting off any other disease, inflammation or infection. That does not mean that we cannot survive cancer or any other disease. It simple means that we just might have a more difficult time. Many of us have a dual-diagnosis and live near normal life spans. My best wishes to you and your Dad.

   Interestingly, one of the chemotherapy agents used for prostate cancer (novantrone) is also used in the treatment of severe multiple sclerosis. He may do surprisingly well!

   Good luck to you and your family. God bless.
