This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
Sorry to read of your friend's problems. I don't know if you had any answers Off List, but possibly not as I believe there are not too many men with Advanced Disease who subscribe to this List.
Your friend might find a better response on another List - see MAILING LISTS for some suggestions. The PPML List has over 1,000 members, some of whom are advanced and of course there is the specific Advanced Prostate Cancer List.
