TREATMENT CHOICES INDEXED BY -
YEAR OF DIAGNOSIS
When this site was set up, there was a belief that there is tremendous value in reading of other people's experiences with prostate cancer and also recognition that it might be helpful you find someone to 'talk' to; someone who had dealt with the same issues and problems.
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.
The accounts on the site are based on information received from our contributors and they may not be completely accurate.We hope they may provide you with an insight into how others have dealt with the issues that you now face. The stories and charts provided are for your information only, and show a brief summary of what others have done. They should not be used for making your own treatment decision. Please be aware that there is much more to the decision making process, as you will see if you go to CHOOSING A TREATMENT.
