Welcome to arivia_2

joined the ProstateCancerSupport group and says:

newly diagnosed have chosen IMRT

Sorry to hear of your

diagnosis but welcome to the club you never wanted to join. No doubt

you’re in a bit of a state of shock, and perhaps feeling isolated.

You’ll find plenty of friendly folk on this List who will do what they

can to help you through.

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 some details of your diagnosis – your Age, your PSAs leading

up to the diagnosis, your 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

It is a tragedy of the world that no one knows what he

doesn’t know, and the less a man knows, the more sure he is that he knows

everything. Joyce Carey
