Feel free to message me as well. There is a lot of good info and help on the internet if you know where to look but talking with someone who has been through it and come out on the other side is most helpful. I'm willing to talk on the phone even. All the best to you as you figure out your treatment.

Sorry about your diagnosis. I got the same news two years ago. For a very detailed book on PC, see Kindle, "Prostate Cancer: Asking the Right Questions" by Tom Leih. I just saw it today and have only scanned the contents. The check list of questions are comprehensive and will hopefully give you some assurance that you're covering all bases. Be aware that the Internet comments can be confusing and inaccurate, so screen to your own situation. Above all, get a good Doc. Good luck.
