I am supporting my father who has advanced prostate cancer and looking for support for him mainly due to the effects of hormone therapy. Welcome to the club you never wanted to join and welcome to the Prostate Cancer Support Forum. 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. There is a section dealing with the management of the disease, including some dietary hints at http://www.yananow.net/MyersManagement.htm there is also a section suggesting the questions that you should seek answers to before making any treatment decision at http://www.yananow.net/questions.htm 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 some details of your diagnosis – Age, PSAs leading up to the diagnosis, Gleason Score and Staging (these terms are all explained on the YANA site) and 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 Terry Herbert 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 Dr “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 " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
