Along with an aortic aneurysm.

He just turned 69 last month and has never been a smoker. He's relatively active, though not in the best shape, and doesn't have the greatest diet.

From what I understand, it's stage 3, and we won't know the full extent of whether or not it's spread to his bladder wall or anywhere else until he goes in for whatever the procedure is to remove the cancer cells.

I've been making rounds among my friend groups, forums I'm on, anywhere I might find information on how to improve his chances of recovery. I've heard good things about water fasts, generally being in positive spirits (watching things that make you laugh, having something to look forward to, something to live for), and he wants to put Xango (mangosteen juice) to the test to see if it's as beneficial as it claims to be.

If anybody has anything that might be helpful for me to know, please reply here.

EDIT: Just to clarify, he's still going the standard treatment route; he's just doing the mangosteen juice as an additional benefit.
