Hi everyone, My name is Gavin Deady. I am a doctoral researcher in the Department of Socciology at NUI Maynooth. My research explores the lived experience of prostate cancer, and how men use online help and support services. I am particularly interested into when and why men begin to use online support services. I am also interested to understand how men support each other online. How does online support differ from face to face support? I would be interested in hearing from any men interested in contributing to the study. You can contact me by email at gavin.deady@gmail.com Please feel free to give your impressions and opinions as you see fit. Everyone is guaranteed the highest level of confidentaility and anonymity, and I hope you will consider making a contribution. If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to email me. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Regards, Gavin Deady

Hello, My name is Javier Barba.I am a foreign student who studies Journalism and Visual media at Griffith College. For one of my lectures i have to do an edited video, I decided to make it about prostate cancer. I want to show people what prostate cancer is as well as how widely spread it is. So I need people who have suffered this illness in order to tell their story. It is going to be easy and it takes only a few hours. I really need someone. If you wanna participate please send me an email to javito_21187@hotmail.com I would like to have an answer as soon as possible, because next week I have to give my treatment. Kind regards, Javier Barba Fernández
