Sorry to welcome another man into our, less and less, exclusive club. Be encouraged! There are many here who have been through everything you are experiencing. Ask lots of questions. The disease sucks, no doubt, but time will heal.

kustom1: We are glad you found WN. I hope you will find much support and some info to help you along. As to radiation - I went through 2 months of radiation almost 4 years ago. Main issue for me was fatigue which I recovered from within a short time after end of treatments. And about hormones - I was on Lupron, Casadex and Xgeva for bone strengthening for 3 1/2 years. Issues I dealt with included hot flashes, some emotional issues and ed. I am now off all and getting along well. I exercise, play tennis and still have ed. I am dealing with ed in some ways that help my wife and I feel that we have a sex life.
Hope you continue to find ways to manage and improve as time goes on. Wishing you the best.
A survivor, Ross

You'll find lots of support and information here. Use the "question" button, lots of response. Not many us Tennesseans on here.

Hello and welcome, we are glad you found us. Please feel free to join in the conversations. Here is a link to our cancer dx page for your type of cancer. Take a look at it to get you started on some information. You will notice at the bottom of that page 4 of our active users who have had that journey already, you may wish to contact them for their experience and wisdom. Also, I encourage you to go to the questions page now by clicking on the questions tab at the top of the page and post what is the most pressing issue you have right now. This will introduce you to the community and get you started on the help you need right now.

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. Confirming your email will allow you to receive updates and notices from the site when someone answers your questions or writes on your wall.

Kustom, I too am newly diagnosed, Feb 21, 2014. I have opted for surgery that will take place next week. Wish I could share about your treatment but am going a different route. Hope all goes well and look forward to learning about your progress.
