RE: YANA WEBSITE

[Guest guest]

Thanks for this very helpful information for patients and their caregivers, Terry. I know your work is a labor of love and your desire to help others get through the somewhat scary diagnosis that they have Prostate Cancer. I wish you (and me) many more years to keep up this much needed work. Your fellow mentor friend, Chuck Always as close as the other end of your computer to help address any prostate cancer concerns.

I have recently been updating some of the pages on my YANA – You Are Not Alone Now website – a continuous job like painting the Golden Gate Bridge. I haven’t had much time to do that for a while, but now I have a team of men who volunteered to help me. I was astonished to hear from some of them that they had no idea that there was so much information on the site, despite the fact that they had been ‘users’ for years. So I thought that other people might find it helpful to visit the pages we’ve been working on The main site is in two parts. For newly diagnosed people we suggest that they follow the path that goes to these pages. It really helps to do this because they gain a greater understanding of all the issues they have to deal with. http://www.yananow.org/dontpanic.shtml DON’T PANIC http://www.yananow.org/goodnews.shtml SOME GOOD NEWShttp://www.yananow.org/diagnosis.shtml DIAGNOSIS http://www.yananow.org/survivpc.shtml SURVIVING http://www.yananow.org/choices.shtml TREATMENT CHOICES http://www.yananow.org/resources.shtml RESOURCES The second part of the site is, I believe, unique in the prostate cancer world. It contains the detailed experiences of over 1,100 men, told in their own words. Most of the stories are updated on a regular basis and the data base can be searched. This means men can match up their diagnosis with other men who had the same diagnosis and correspond directly with them. Whilst no decision should be based solely on what another person did, because there are so many variables, it can help to gain an understanding of all the options. The relevant page is http://www.yananow.org/query_stories.php SURVIVORS STORIES There are Site Search Engines on a number of pages which help you find specific information.
