This is a non-commercial, no sponsors - just a web site dedicated to those who have or had contact with this disease.  It is prepared by a prostate-cancer patient (diagnosed and treated in 1997) who has intensively studied this disease - click on "Who is Don Cooley" for more information.  (Note:  Items in Blue are clickable links and will take you directly to the page,)

This makes it a neat clean, searchable web site that is easy to read and find what you are looking for.  You can do all  your research from this site - PHID, PubMed, BLOGs, Google.  One might say this is a "searchers paradise" for prostate cancer. 

At the bottom of every page you can access the " Questions - Let Us Help", "RSS Feeds", "Other LInks," sites - all for your quick research.  Learn how to use these - they will give you many answers

Your history is most important in the treatment decision.  We have a whole section talking about this history, how it applies and a Form to record your history.  Look at the top right and you will see the category "Your Personal and Medical History"  immediately under "Home".  It is at the top of the list as it is at the top of importance.  Your choice of treatment and its success may be greatly influenced by this history.  There is additional information under "Your Personal and Medical History" of importance. 

In addition we have a section that you can complete a condensed history and ask questions about your disease or the disease of a loved one.  Here any question is acceptable from the disease and its treatments, to its side effects, ED and intimacy, care of a patient, etc.  You can go directly to this section by clicking on "Questions - Let Us Help" and ask the Team your questions.

NOTE:  Notice all links to other pages on this site or to other Internet sites are in blue and underlined to make them stand out.  Just click on these blue and underlined words and you will go directly to the page or site referred to.
