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 ... please 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.

Considering IMRT/SpaceOAR + Hormone Tx over Surgery
Hello Everyone, Hoping there are active members still here from the 2016 chats. My husband has a controlled ulcerative colitis but we are hoping he can get through 8 1/2 weeks of IMRT without too much trouble, vs. doing surgery. Does anyone have any experience or advice to share? Thanks.See More
