Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies will not be discussed in great detail here because it is critical to not hope that they would suffice, alone, to treat cancer. However, the following guidelines towards understanding a TCM diagnosis are offered:

• Zeng Ye Tang plus chrysanthemum flower (ju hua), trichosanthes root (tian hua fen), glehnia (sha shen), dioscorea (shan yao) and moutan bark (mu dan pi): Large Intestine Dryness: oral side-effects of radiation therapy: dryness that is worse at night, irritability, dry tongue, rapid thin pulse

• Ji Xue Teng Qin Gao Pian (patent): increases white blood count.

• He Che Da Zao Wan (patent): Kidney Yin Xu (Deficiency)

• Ling Zhi Feng Wang Jiang (patent): Qi Xu (Deficiency) with Xue Xu (Blood Deficiency)

• Chih-ko and Curcuma C. (patent): All tumors

• Blue Citrus (patent): Groin swellings

• Conium maculatum: stony, hard prostate, inability to have erections but high sex drive; intermittent urination in old people; urine flows and stops; weight like a stone in perineum

• Crotalus horridus: cancer with hematuria

• Iodatum: incontinence of urine; complete prostration of strength and general emaciation; worse from external warmth

• Psorinum: discharge of prostatic fluid before urinating; several organs flabby, torpid; aversion to coitus

• Selenium: lot of sexual activity that led to debility, masturbation; worse in hot weather, after sleep and anything that causes relaxation; involuntary dribbling

• Sulphur: offensive sweat around genitals

• Thuja occidentalis: pain, burning on urination or ejaculation; lot of sexual problems; frequent and urgent desire to urinate

• aloe vera
  
• dandelion
  
• mallow

• lemon (helps to dissolve blood clots; acts as a chronic alterative)
  
• indigo (an astringent, antipyic, antiemetic, and hemostatic) on area
  
• orange (acts as a decongestant) on area may further reduce mass.

• The prostate represents the masculine principle.

• Loss of sexual function after surgery is more likely to be related to the patient feeling unattractive, to lack of information, or to lackof support in dealing with postoperative psychological reactions than to surgical loss of sexually-responsive tissue. Many sexual problems will be solved by just the chance to discuss them; patients need to hear that their sexual concerns are completely normal.

• Comprehensive cancer management should include members of the medical discipline who provide holistic and humanistic treatment. One team member should be both a qualified sex therapist and psychotherapist. This individual should be introduced to patients at the onset of treatment, be involved in a preoperative assessment, during hospital stay, and during the post-operative period.
