The title of this article may sound a bit strange and probably offensive but I’d like to state the fact that the prostate cancer is by no means a laughing matter.

When you confront yourself with a terrible disease such as cancer you’ll find out that it is quite difficult to keep your humorous side.



While there aren’t any scientific evidences to prove that laughter could cure any type of illness or cancer, humor can sometimes be a companion when you follow a treatment for cancer because it can reduce the level of stress and improve the quality of life. At a psychological level, humor can stimulate the immune system, the circulatory system or the other systems of the organism.

When the time comes for you to get the courage of laughing about your situation, and that usually happens only after cancer is treated, below you can find some prostate cancer jokes.

“A man elects to have a prostatectomy (removal of the prostate) and asks the surgeon to try to spare the nerves that produce an erection. Well, he goes into surgery and wakes up in the recovery room and sees his doctor.
Man: So how did it go?
Doctor: I've got good news and bad news.
Man: Give me the good news first.
Doctor: We were able to save the nerves.
Man: That's great news! What's the bad news?
Doctor: They're under your pillow.”





“Doctor: Well, we better discuss treatment now for your prostate cancer. I recommend hormone therapy.
Man: Are there any side-effects?
Doctor: A few. You will have a loss of potency. You might get some hot flashes. And when lost, you will have an inexplicable urge to ask for directions.”



Cancer is a ruthless disease, and there is always the possibility of recurrence. Truthfully, I can only list bad things about this malignant condition, but if you have a dark humor and you are willing to discover the humorous part of the situation, no matter how bleak it may seem, below are some random cancer jokes.



“A religious man discovers that he has testicular cancer, and decides to pray for a miracle. The next day he visits an urologist, who tells him he must have surgery immediately. He tells the doctor: ‘I do not want you to remove my testicle, I am praying to God for a miracle’. Then he visits a radiologist, who tells him that he must begin radiation therapy immediately. He tells the doctor: ‘I do not want you to expose my body to radiation, I am putting my faith in God’. Finally he visits an oncologist, who tells him that he must start chemotherapy immediately. He tells the doctor: ’I do not want you to inject me with caustic chemicals, God will heal me’. A few months later he dies and goes to heaven, where he is very upset and asks God why he didn't give him a miracle. God replies: ‘I gave you three miracles: an urologist, an oncologist and a radiologist, but you chose to ignore them’.”

“What do you call a person who has a compulsion to get lymphoma over and over again? A lymphomaniac.”

“When I told a friend that I have cancer, he replied: I thought you were an Aries?”

“Doctor to patient: I'm sorry to have to tell you, but you have a very rare cancer for which there are no treatments and I'm afraid that you only have six months to live.




Patient: What do you suggest I do?

Doctor: Move to Iowa and live with an economist.

Patient: And how will that make me live longer?

Doctor: It won't. Six months will just seem longer.”




“Doctor: I've got your test results and some bad news. You have cancer and Alzheimer's.
Man: Boy, am I lucky! I was afraid I had cancer!”

I really have no idea how much you can see the humor in these jokes but they aren’t written with the intention of being offensive towards those who are affected by cancer.

Cancer is an incurable disease so you can’t stop it but depending on the way you look at it you can change your life and eventually find the right treatment for it.
