New Member - father-in-law diagnosed

My father-in-law has prostate cancer

Sorry to hear of your father-in-law’s

diagnosis. You might find it useful to visit YANA - You Are Not Alone Now www.yananow.net a site set up for newly diagnosed

people which gives some basic information in plain language with links to more

complex sites. The second section of the site is where we invite men to tell

their stories and how they arrived at their decisions regarding treatment. Many

people have mailed me 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

You might like to print off a booklet on the site at http://www.yananow.net/StrangePlace/index.html

But in any event, please post some details of

your father-in-law’s

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.

Please mail us if there is anything specific we can

help you with at this difficult time.

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
