New Member with uro;ogist appointment

[Guest guest]

Welcome to port_lock jazu@...

who has joined the ProstateCancerSupport group and says:

I've got a PSA of 8.11 and FPSA ratio of 10, and an

upcoming appointment with a urologist and I'm scared.

You might find it useful to visit YANA

- You Are Not Alone Now www.yananow.net a site set up for newly

diagnosed people. The first section gives some basic information in plain

language with links to more complex and technical sites.

The second section of the site is where men are

invited to tell their prostate cancer stories and how they arrived at their

decisions regarding treatment. Many people have mailed to say how useful they

have found this, especially because most of the men are happy to respond to

specific questions. The section of the site can be found by clicking the link

labelled Experiences or going to http://www.yananow.net/Experiences.html

But in any event, please post any questions you might

have. Just remember – there are no dumb questions. We all started off

where you are now, but we’ve collectively learned a lot over the years.

All the best

I have no medical qualifications but I was diagnosed

in ‘96: and have learned a bit since then.

My sites are at www.yananow.net and www.prostatecancerwatchfulwaiting.co.za

“Snuffy” Myers : " As a physician, I am painfully aware that most of the decisions

we make with regard to prostate cancer are made with inadequate data "
