Prostate Forum Announcement

Dr Charles Snuffy Myers now focuses his popular Prostate Forum monthlyreport on answering individual prostate cancer survivor questions. His last 2 -3 monthly Forums have been really great! A yearly subscription to the Prostate Forum is quite inexpensive. His daughter Jessie, who wrote this letter, can explain further

Dear Prostate Forum Subscriber,

We're working on an upcoming issue of Prostate Forum that focuses on
readers' questions about active surveillance, commonly called watchful
waiting. If you've got a question about active surveillance, please submit
it via our website at http://www.prostateforum.com/ask-dr-myers.html or
e-mail me directly at jessica@prostateforum.com

Keep in mind that the way you ask your question is essential. If you¹re
asking about your own cancer, and not, for example, why Dr. Myers suggests
prostate cancer patients avoid flaxseed, he needs enough information about
your specific case to address it in an informative manner. Specifically, he
needs to know what kind of prostate cancer you have and how extensive that
cancer was at diagnosis. He also needs to know about each treatment in
detail and what that treatment did to your PSA or other evidence of disease.

As you formulate your questions, please be sure to include as much of the
following as possible:

* What was your PSA at diagnosis and how fast was that PSA increasing?
* What was your Gleason on biopsy?
* For all patients, PSA doubling time is very, very important. Please
estimate or provide Dr. Myers with a series of PSA levels so he can
calculate.
* Please mention if you have any other medical problems such as heart
disease.

Best,
Jessica Myers-Schecter
