Watchful Waiting aka Active Surveillance - was...... www.watchwait.com

[Guest guest]

G’day Emile,

I must have missed your original posting.

If you click on the “Files’

Link on this mail, or on the site (depending on how you get posts) you will see

two files listed regarding Active Surveillance – if you read those you

will get a good view of the subject. Immediately below those two files is

another suggesting questions you might like to ask your doctor as you focus on

what information will help you make up your mind on this difficult subject. If

you go along to http://www.yananow.net/choices.htm#watchful

you will find some basic information and links to other sites on the subject

plus a link to this site http://www.yananow.net/Experiences.html#as

where men who have chosen the Active Surveillance option tell their stories –

and can be contacted for more information.

All the best

Terry Herbert

I am a new member of this support site,

but have my own web site dedicated to watchful waiting. If you are interested

in WW, whether you are doing it now or are considering it following a recent

diagnosis, I invite you to check out my site. It not only tells my own story,

but has links to numerous studies and articles in the media, as well as a list

of supplements to take and more. Check it out. www.watchwait.com

Hi :

I'm not finished examining your

site, but some of the things you say I've heard elsewhere, and seem more

appropriate in my case. I'm 73. recently had a biopsy, have a

PSA of 6, am healthy, and my prostate is 22MM. I get my

results on Sept. 3rd, and I've asked the group for comments but have

received no replies. Unless the results say " aggressive "

I will probably WW. and will be looking for suggestions. Thanks and

bye for now.

Emile
