At 8:17am on May 16th, 2008, Arnon Krongrad, MD said…: Martin, I really enjoyed the conversation yesterday. It's great to know you may be bringing Enrique as an oncologist. He knows prostate cancer very, very well. Do you think he would sign on to the New Prostate Cancer InfoLink social network?

At 10:35pm on May 11th, 2008, Arnon Krongrad, MD said…: Hi Marty. We did as you suggested. The InfoLink cards are in the mail to you. If you need more, let Hope know. Thanks.

Your idea of using simple business cards is good. Mike and I discussed it as a means of helping men newly diagnosed learn that InfoLink is
available to help them. Will get some made up and we can see how to get them distributed. Phil is also coming over on Monday and we'll discuss.

At 9:19pm on April 15th, 2008, Mike said…: Dear Dr. Keisch: Would you feel able to look at the "post-radiation fatigue" question on the radiation group forum and at least let him know if his apparent "radiation fatigue" is reasonable and not uncommon. He seems to be in need of reassurance as much as anything. Since he is not your patient, I recognize that any guidanxce you can offer him is limkited. Thank you.

At 7:44am on April 15th, 2008, Kathy Meade said…: I agree that patients are different. Unfortunately they are very unlikely to see depression as one of their problems. ED and incontinence are much more apparent. I sometimes wonder what role depression plays in the ED dynamic. I know that physical aspects are there but some men seem to focus exclusively on an erect penis while others have a satisfying new style sex life. I wonder if they may be more likely be able to recover performance. I remember a man I spoke to who was very angry about ED issues. After much venting I asked him what his performance was prior to prostate cancer treatment. He told me about the same. I asked why he was angry now and he said that everyone said that prostate cancer treatment caused ED. I am not a therapist but in this case it sounded to me that depression was part of the dynamic. Anger is often a symptom of depression in men. In the long run if physicians found a way to address the depression issues possible they may be dealing more effectively with their problem patients?

At 11:13am on April 13th, 2008, Mike said…: Hi Dr. Keisch. Welcome to what we hope will be valuable not juist for patients but for the medical community too. Thanks for your interest. Plkease feel able to let me know if you see any information on the main site that seems miseading in any way.

At 8:49pm on April 12th, 2008, Kathy Meade said…: Dr Keisch,

Welcome to this group.

Dr Krongrad and I have been having a discussion about what patients want/need from their doctor and what doctors can give them. I would appreciate your for feedback on some of the issues I have been bringing up on the forum, "I can't get no ... satisfaction, questions, and answers". I would very much appreciate to hear your opinions, especially about the recommendations on the two IOM reports that I referenced. Thank you,

Kathy Meade
