Malecare's Prostate Cancer Under (age) 50 program

Malecare's Prostate Cancer Under (age) 50 program began in late 2004 and Malecare's Advanced Prostate Cancer program began in late 2006. Today, we are asking you to tell us how we can make them better. Please email your suggestions and comments. We are asking in this free form way, as we know that each of you approaches your diagnosis, treatment and lives uniquely ... we want to fit your needs into our programs rather than create programs that you have to make an effort to fit into.
So, if you were diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 50, tell us what help is missing or what can be improved in your lives...in the services and support groups we offer....anything, everything....the sky and your imagination are your only limits. Family and friends are welcome to email their comments, too.
Same goes for those of you initially diagnosed with late stage prostate cancer, or were diagnosed with a recurrence of prostate cancer after a primary treatment.
I can tell you that we are revising the Advanced Prostate Cancer handbook that approx. 6,000 of you received. We're writing Version 2.0 and would welcome your critique of Version 1.x We're also planning many more teleconferences for you to attend.
All of our Malecare volunteer's have lots of work to do this summer, and we hope that you will help by taking just a few minutes to email your comments to me, Darryl, at darryl@malecare.org

P.S. Our advocacy efforts continue, with work focused on protecting the federal Prostate Cancer Research Program, building awareness with the second annual Men's Health Night on November 20 and trying to increase collaboration with our brother and sister cancer survivor nonprofits...more news about that, next month
