New Member - diagnosed three years ago

[Guest guest]

Welcome to the timbuck35904 rwright010@... who has

joined the ProstateCancerSupport group and says:

I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer three years ago.

Had two bi-ops, the first had a Gleason score of 3+3,the second 3+4 with 20%

involvement.

Please post some details of

your diagnosis – your Age, your PSAs leading up to the diagnosis, your

Gleason Score and Staging – and what you have done since being diagnosed.

Let us have 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.

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

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
