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.
Warwick Ford; Sorry to hear about your brother! It does happen. Good that you posted, as it will also give others a heads up as to how serious this can be if ignored or not caught in time. Nobody wants to treat this disease and have to endure the results of treatment but this illustrates the results of not doing so. Life is precious no matter how inconvenient the results of trying to extend it. I know of one who chose to live a "quality" life over a life after treatment. The end was not pretty for him nor was it quick or easy - and his loved ones suffered right along with him. Till progress is made, this is all we victims have for choices at this time. Best to all! Jon.
Warwick, Sound advice and so good to know that you are making such good progress. Hope it stays that way! An update to your story - not done in over two years would help us all.
Some may have supposed your earlier progress had been upruptly halted!!
