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.

Hmmmmm, John. Who knows what motivates folk - or indeed what they are looking for - that's what makes designing and running a website so difficult.
I don't know if the story of The Little Red Hen is still one that is generally known - it was a Little Golden Book in my and our son's youth.
The story tells the tale of the Little Red Hen who seeks help as she labours in the field, planting wheat seed, weeding the field, harvesting the crop, grinding the wheat, baking the bread. At each stage of the proceedings she asks for help, but everyone is too busy - the only time anyone has any spare time is when the bread is ready to eat!
When we first mooted the idea this site about 10 years ago, there were about 18 people who enthusiastically offered advice on how it should look, what it should contain, what it should achieve. The decision was taken to go ahead and the work - and cost of $30 a head for the software - was divvied up among the 18 people. In terms of the little red hen syndrome, only one couple - the MORRISONS- put up their hand and between the three of us we did all the work. The rest of the folk were never heard of again.
I believe the lack of responses is plain and simple little red hen syndrome at work again and is fairly typical of the way men generally go about responding to calls to get involved with prostate cancer projects - they ignore them.
I am 2 years after IMRT. I cannot comment on long term effects yet, but would be glad to later. I am unclear what the difference is with the updates method and the data you are looking for. I will be in any projects I am asked to.
the little red hen story is pretty correct.the adelaide pc awareness comitte consists mainly of a small group pc survivors ,most retired and long serving members .very few new faces attend were are the rest that get treated every day ?
