Headache, Fever. Related To Prostate Cancer?
My husband has had something like clusterfp headaches along with intermittant fevers - none over 101. Fevers come and go all day, headaches are everyday also and occur on the top of the head - not migraine symptons - no other causes we can identify. Went to the Dr after 2 weeks and he found nothing. They did bloodwork - said white cells were normal. We don t know what else, if anything, they looked for. His fever tonight is 100.6 - the Dr told him to take Excedrin - which he does 3-4 times a day. But we are concerned since he is never sick. Was diagnosed recently with prostate cancer and the uroogist suggested a wait and see approach sisnce the numbers did not suggest a more aggressive approach. Could that have anything to do with his fever and headaches. What else should we have family Dr test for? Thanks

Hello friend,
Your husband is in a diagnostic conflict. That means, he is now worried about the diagnosis of prostate cancer and the present symptoms are not because of the cancer but because of the scare it produced in him.
Please stop all drugs to reduce fever and headaches. They will not do good for the patient.
Allow the fever to run its course and once the fever is over, he will feel more released, with improvement of appetite and reduction of fatigue.
In the meanwhile, subject him to a counselling or psychotherapy in order to free him from the scare of cancer. For the production of cancer of the prostate, definitely he had a psychic cause that was related with the family, children, sex, etc. Make him to understand that the cancer will not do him anything bad unless his mind is affected. Give him more courage, support and empathy.
You can approach me with details through the personal query facility of Healthcare magic and I will suggest Homoeopathic constitutional remedy to cure him.
With Best Wishes,
Dr. C. J. Varghese
