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.
Yes, I agree with all our friends have said.
Those of us lucky enough to have found YANA soon after diagnosis will forever owe you a debt of gratitude.
There is no other site quite like it - and we LIKE the format here.
I too registered with 'myProstate', but after completing some details I lost interest.
It does have many 'bells and whistles' but it just isn't as warm and user friendly as this site.
For the first time in almost seven years I'm going to attempt to post a great big 'smiley' in a message:
Terry, I am so glad you decided to continue with YANA. This was an informative place when I was 1st diagnosed and learned so much from other men walking through their journey of PCa.
Its now been 4+ since my initial diagnoses and I remain cancer free.
Thanks for "coming back" Terry we have missed you!!
I have always since my start come on the site every day gaining comfort and sometimes helping others.
Once the site had gone I felt I/we had lost something very valuable.Maybe this only applies to us sufferers but I am so glad you and the site are back.
What great news to return from a short trip and discover that we may once again experience YANA Experiences! I could not be happier, for myself of course, but even more for all the others - old-time YANAers and those to come who will find this site so invaluable.
I was one of the first to transfer my info to myProstate, and while I liked some of the structure (instant charts, etc.) I also found it to be so impersonal that I was not ever drawn to it.
And as for not having ads, corporate sponsorship? THANK YOU!, Terry, that is one of the great things about YANA.
Not sure how I could help, but let me know if there is anything I might assist with going forward.
Welcome back 1: from your great-sounding cruise.
Welcome back 2: for the return of YANA.
welcome back. the personal stories have shown a great deal of variations between the different types of treatments & stages. It certanly helped me with my choice of treatment . God luck & low psa bob
