Hello! We hope you're doing well. We have a partner that is looking for people that would be willing to share their experience with prostate cancer with others. They are looking for people that would like to help others by sharing their story speaking to groups of people about it. Others that have had this opportunity report that they thoroughly enjoy it.

If you think this is something you would like to do, just click this link>> https://www.research.net/r/BMWXTJL , and answer a few questions to see if you would qualify for this.

If you have any questions, you can email me at greg @ whatnext . com as always, thanks for being with us here at WhatNext!

Have you ever read about Job in the Bible? It sounds like you may be a descendant of his. But, you will see light at the end of the tunnel of suffering. Hang in there and believe it will happen.
Re: sex - this prostate cancer sure changes that for many of us. Even with ed there are some ways to have a satisfactory sex life. It is different and having a good partner will be a big help.
Best to you as you continue your cancer journey.

Hi! Sounds like "people problems" are complicating your ability to relax and get well. There re questions that can be answered by your doctor or one of the nurses who take care of you. Usually "up and about " means that if you want to walk to the bathroom or check out the hallway, go ahead. It is up to you to sit down if you feel faint or have a lot of pain. I had a huge tumor removed , along with my left kidney several years ago. It took a while before I felt well enough to go back to work, but it did happen. I suggest you get back to any hobbies you have. Or take up a new one. Believe it or not, I bought blanks for wood duck decoys and did some carving , sanding and painting. Good therapy. If you need some time and distance from your friends and family, tell them that's what you need, or give them specific jobs to do for you, like grocery shopping, some laundry, taking a walk with you, but always keep these jobs on your terms. Sometimes people are not very tactful because they're very uncomfortable with your illness. Particularly people who are around your age. They don't know what to say, so to cover their discomfort they say something ignorant. As for your girlfriend, Luckydawg19 had some good advice. I wish you well. You have what it takes to make this a small bump in the road, rather than stopping the trip and missing a beautiful view. Read the resources suggested in your welcome letter, and ask questions of your doctor , who knows your condition, rather than asking friends and neighbours.
Praying or only quiets your mind, it nourishes your soul. I heartily recommend it.
Take gentle care of yourself, and let us know how you're doing.

There are also subtypes listed on this page to narrow down the type of cancer to match your dx. Also, if you can take a few minutes and fill in some details of your journey so far, it will help others as they try to answer questions for you, it also helps others as they search through the data base to find someone like themselves.
