WHAT'S THE POINT OF THIS SOCIAL NETWORK?
The "New" Prostate Cancer InfoLink Social Network is a service of Prostate Cancer International and is closely associated with the core information and daily news made available through The "New" Prostate Cancer InfoLink. We welcome patients, family members, physicians, researchers, and anyone else who is seeking information about what's happening on Planet Prostate Cancer.
If you want to remain anonymous on this network ... do not use your real name when you sign in. Use a pseudonym, or just your first name and an initial.
One of our primary goals is to help newly diagnosed men to come to the best possible decision for them about a specific course of action. Given two men with exactly the same clinical characteristics, the best possible decision for man A may be very different to the best possible decision for man B.

E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott commented on Arthur Rollins's status"Arthur:
One step at a time. Let's see what your PSA is in 3 months time.
Could it be an anomaly? Yes, it could. Is it likely to be an anomaly? Unfortunately. no, I don't think it is, but 3 months is a reasonable time to wait until you get…"
Gary left a comment for E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott"No other health issues....5ft10inches tall172pounds....staget1c"
Arthur Rollins commented on Arthur Rollins's status"I am getting tested again in three months instead of six. My doctor said that .2 is still considered below the level of recurrence, but we do want to monitor. Could it be an anomaly in the testing at this level? Although I would hope for that I…"
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for Gary"Gary:
I note that, in addition to the information you give above, you are 61 years of age. However, there are two other pieces of information that would really help us to best help you:
(a) Your clinical stage at diagnosis (e.g., T1c, T2a, T2b)
(b)…"
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for Ron Esslinger"Ron:
I note that you are 76 years of age. However, it would help us to better understand your situation if you could tell us the following:
-- Your PSA level at the time of diagnosis
-- Your PSA level now
-- Your clinical stage at diagnosis (e.g.,…"
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for Terry Hall"Terry:
With a PSA of 29 and an evident mass in your prostate detectable by DRE and by ultrasound, you certainly appear to be at high risk for localized prostate cancer.
Unfortunately, without data from a prostate biopsy, there is really little…"
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for jaime perez lopez"Jaime:
This web site is really focused entirely on prostate cancer, whereas you have melanoma. Unfortunately, I don't think we are going to be able to help you."
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for Laurie Masters"Dear Laurie:
It sounds like you might be signing up looking for information because your Dad or some other family member has been diagnosed, is that correct?"
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for Richard Behrens"Richard:
Is your PSA still dropping or does it seem to have pretty much stabilized at around 6 ng/ml?
Has your urologist or oncologist ever assayed your serum testosterone level since you started on the Lupron + Casodex? Ideally your serum T level…"
Arthur Rollins posted a status"My PSA has gone from less than .1 to less than .2. Is this a big concern?"

The CyberKnife Therapy Forum
CyberKnife therapy is a form of radiation treatment that is becoming more popular for the treatment of low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Here's a space to share experiences and gain information -- along with physicians who use it.
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for greg fisher"Greg:
(1) There are all sorts of reasons why a PSA level might rise from about 2.2 to about 3.2 in a man of your age. Most of them are not related to prostate cancer.
(2) You mention that you have been "having symptoms for a while." Can…"

Exercise Central
A support space for men who want and need to exercise after diagnosis or treatment -- either to maintain or modify their existing regime or start a new one.
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott replied to E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott's discussion The National Proactive Surveillance Network (NPSN) in the group Active Surveillance / Expectant Management"Terry: Do you know Dan Zenka at the Prostate Cancer Foundation? He would know."
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for neil langford"Neil:
The data on non-treatment of men like you is a great deal less sophisticated than the data on treatment because -- for the past 20 years or so -- it would never have been considered normal to not treat a man like you.
If we assume that you do…"
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott replied to E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott's discussion The National Proactive Surveillance Network (NPSN) in the group Active Surveillance / Expectant Management"Sorry Terry ... Haven't got a clue."
E. Michael D. ("Mike") Scott left a comment for jack"Jack:
There are very limited data on the efficacy and safety of HIFU as a second line treatment for men with prostate cancer. Furthermore, HIFU is not an approved form of therapy in the USA, so the chances are that -- to get treated this way --…"
