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.

Hi just been told I have ductal prostrate cancer with gleason 8,consultant
recommends surgery.this is a rare form of the cancer,anyone had any experience
of it.
Hi Michael. I see this is your first post, so welcome to the YANA forums.
Ductal PCa, as you are aware is rare. I cannot recall any YANA members stating ductal PCa as their primary diagnosis. So don't be disheartened if you do not get to many responses.
I am wondering what are your thought's on your consultant's recommendation? Have you done a bit of research to assist you in the decision making process? I guess I am trying to ascertain what your current level of knowledge is regarding the high risk disease that you have, it's appropriate treatment modalities, and the likleyhood of disease progression. I assume you are comfortable with such a discussion given your presence on here.
As I stated previously, while you may not get responses from men with ductal PCa, you will get good information regarding the various treatment modalities. So do feel free to ask specific questions.
