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.
Come on Guys, lets all get together and support Dr. Strum, it may be to late for a lot of us, but think of those that will follow in our foot steps, as we all should know, with PCa, early detection is the name of the game, if you really want to be cured of the desease.
If Drs. can see where the cancer has spread to, then there is a greater chance of the total cancer being treated, not just the what they think they can see.
40% of missed nodal metastases after surgical staging, is a huge amount and we should not accept this, if there is a imageing agent, that has been developed to find the nodal metastases before surgery, thus maybe changing the decision of what treatment will be given to stop, or cure the cancer.
As the saying goes "The ball is now in our court", so lets belt it with all our might.
Count me in, my contact has been emailed. Don't delay! ALL of you in my beloved YANA Family should send your contact info today! (or tomorrow, for those of you in Australia:-)

Have there been any updates on Combidex? My father had done it a year ago in Holland however he was also under Lupron so the results did not show much (his PSA was too low at the time).
