Links to some other
prostate cancer websites
Table of Contents
Some of the links below appear
elsewhere in this website within the appropriate sections(e.g., Bone
Integrity, pain management, etc.) They are repeated here as another way of
accessing the information. Links are always a "WORK IN PROGRESS."
A suggested website for some basic "cancer" information is Steve
Dunn's Cancer Guide at
http://cancerguide.org.
"The possibilities are infinitely greater than the averages" and use Cancer
Guide "When you need the right questions."
I'm not sure how much activism advanced or hormone refractory patients
get involved in, but there are a wealth of opportunities available to
lobby/advocate for more research money for hormone refractory prostate
cancer. An editorial by Nicholas Vogelzang, in the Journal of Clinical
Oncology, Vol. 14, No. 6, June 1996, pp. 1753-1754, entitled "One Hundred
Thirteen Men With Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer Died Today" should be a
call for action. Virtually all men who die of prostate cancer die from the
hormone refractory prostate cancer stage.

Ric Masten's Prostate Cancer
Odyssey. Ric writes: "Poet Ric Masten’s ongoing “Prostate
Cancer Odyssey” — soon entering year 5 — is a blow by blow description
of one man’s journey done in verse, musings and medical tid-bits. He
doesn’t go back and correct things he got wrong and later learned
were misconceptions — he lets his reader learn along with him in his
personal struggle with PCa from diagnosis to “Latest Update.” So
reading from January ’99 to where he is today is a unique way of
becoming acquainted with multiple aspects of this deadly disease and
how one man is dealing with the ups and downs and managing to
survive."
