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.
The others have given you some great advice but DON'T PANIC. Something to bear in mind is that, compared against other cancers, PCa is slow growing.
There are lots of tools in the box to treat the disease and many many people go on to survive for a very very long time in full remission.
Take a look at the toolkit on http://www.prostate-cancer.org.uk/info/publications_toolkit.asp it gives a comprehensive guide to all the available treatments. Seems that Bob is on Hormone Treatment (HT) and I have been on it for 3 years.
