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, Terry. I do find the link useful although I don't find that site very user friendly. I first went to it when you gave Paul A and myself the Krongrad story on PSA that didn't go down after robotic surgery, which is what happened to Paul A and me.
But I have not found any site like YANA. The mentor stories and the Forum are a huge resource and in my opinion the best there is. Your quip, "I also think it's a good sign when men get too busy to check up on all the PCa news - it shows they're getting on with their lives and getting the disease into some kind of focus:-)", is true of me though. Despite continuing ED after my partially successful (partially failed?) robotic, and PSA still coming out of my remaining bit of prostate, you know I just feel it is best to get on with life. I do get the Prostate Specific Anxiety just before each test, but mostly I don't even think about it anymore. So I don't feel motivated to keep checking up on the latest news or theories. If my guy goes bad again, I'll look around and consider how - or if - to deal with it. Meanwhile I watch and wait like I could have been doing without going through an incomplete op. (Incomplete, that is, apart from all the side effects!)
Like I say, for me the most valuable thing is to read all the other guys' experiences and there is nowhere better to do that than here, mate.
