There are now more than 660 stories covering all currently available options on the site. These accounts are based on information received from the contributors and they may not be completely accurate. They may, however, provide others with an insight into how they have dealt with the issues that others now face. The stories and charts provided are for information only, and show a brief summary of what others have done. They should not be used for making individual treatment decision. Most of the men who have told their stories have volunteered to act as Mentors and have provided their e-mail addresses. They invite you to mail them for any further information you might want. They may not always be able to help you directly, but may well know where to direct you.
