Sorry to read of your husband’s

treatment options. Many of the men on this List have early stage prostate

cancer, so much of the discussion is on topics that may not be of much help to

you. There are however Mailing Lists where the focus is on advanced prostate

cancer and hormone therapies and I know that the men on those sites will help

you all they can. If you have not used a Mailing List before you might find it

helpful to go to http://www.yananow.net/FAQmailinglist.htm ; if you know about Lists and Forums then you

might join http://www.prostatepointers.org/mailman/listinfo/chb

a List where men discuss hormone blockade options and http://www.groups.prostate-help.org/grsubsc.htm

where you will see that there is a specific List for men with

Advanced Disease.

Below are some links for

men with advanced disease you might find helpful:

http://prostate-cancer.org/resource/advancedprostatecancerhandbook.html

This is an excellent handbook that you can order free of charge entitled Living with Advanced Prostate Cancer When PSA

Rises During Hormone Therapy

http://www.ustoo.com/Experienced_Relapse.asp

One of the US-TOO sites with excellent advice on pain management

http://patient.cancerconsultants.com/prostate_cancer_news.aspx?id=32365

Details of a chemotherapy treatment with Taxotere that has proved a useful

management tool

All the best,

Diagnosed ‘96: Age

As a

physician, I am painfully aware that most of the decisions we make with regard

to prostate cancer are made with inadequate data: Dr
