Michigan Cancer Consortium:
Fact Sheets About Symptoms After Prostate Cancer Treatment

Men with prostate cancer often have troubling symptoms that continue after treatment has ended. Developed by a team of prostate cancer survivors, nurses and physicians with expertise in prostate cancer in collaboration with the Michigan Department of Community Health, this series of 14 fact sheets is designed to help men and their loved ones manage these symptoms and other problems that can occur following treatment. Each fact sheet describes a symptom, provides practical tips for managing it, and indicates when further professional help is needed.  Accompanying the fact sheets is a list of websites that men and their loved ones can visit to learn more about prostate cancer.
