Welcome to the club you never wanted to

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

they can to help you through.

Carolyn, 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.

mccartney_7 if you go along to http://www.yananow.net/Experiences.html#surgery you will see the stories

of men who chose radical prostatectomy and you will be able to read about their

experiences, mailing them if you need more information.

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

We learned last month that my husband has PC - we are now researching

ways to treat it. I believe sharing with others is a valuable source of

information and knowledge.
