My Dad Has just been diagnosed

Last reply: 17 July 2009 15:58
Hi, My Dad ahs just been diagnosed with prostate Cancer and they say that it is moderate as they did not catch it early. He has been for an MRI (which he hates as he is very clostraphobic) and thus showed some "hotspots" on his liver -he then had a CT scan that showed lesions on his liver. My Dad is not talking about it and me and my sisters are worried about what this means? Does this mean that he also has cancer in his liver? Ciara

Stage 4 Prostate Cancer

Last reply: 28 May 2014 14:32
Hi I am a 51-year-old man and have been living with Stage 4 prostate cancer for 3.5 years now. I would like to talk to any other patients of any age who are dealing with this situation. I'd like to talk about treatments, prospects, quality of life, how you are coping. I have been looking for a support group for a while now and there doesn't seem to be one. Being able to talk to someone else in the same boat would be good for the spirits. I am going through my chemo cycles and am generally coping with life, and I'd like to share my experiences with others. regards Dara

New Cancer Diagnosis and Blog

Last reply: 18 November 2011 17:45
Three days and fours hours ago I was hit by a freight train. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Age: 43, PSA:9.5, Gleeson:9. To cope with what lies ahead in the best way I know how I started a blog at http://www.tommolloy.com. Posts are displayed with the most recent at the top, so start at the bottom ("Day 1") to read them in sequence until I work out how to make it more intuitive. Content is candid and will not be to the taste of everyone. But it is my way of getting my head around this and I hope of some benefit to somebody. Keep fighting the good fight!

Research into the lived experience of prostate cancer

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

Documentary

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
