Using this website to help

If a biopsy has shown that you have early stage prostate cancer, this website is for you. It gives you the facts about your disease, your treatment choices, and the possible results of those choices.

This website is designed to help you understand medical facts and to talk with your doctor. It is not medical advice. It should not take the place of your doctor's advice and suggestions. Talk with your doctor about all your treatment choices.

Learn all you can so you can make your choice. Share this website with your doctor and loved ones. Talk to people you trust. Many others have learned and coped. You can too.

Fact Sheets for Symptoms After Prostate Cancer Treatment
Men with prostate cancer often have troubling symptoms that continue after treatment has ended. A series of 14 new fact sheets has been developed to help men and their loved ones manage these symptoms and other problems that can occur following treatment. Each fact sheet describes a symptom, gives practical tips for managing it, and indicates when further professional help is needed.  These helpful fact sheets were 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. They have also developed a list of Web sites that can be used to help men and their loved ones learn about prostate cancer.
