MDJunction to me

"Before I found this site I felt so alone. Watching my daughter struggle with IH and being treated like she had two heads from doctors. I have plenty of family and friends but there was nobody that really knew what she was going through.
I not only have support and love from others who will listen and share their
story, but I have made some forever friends. Having this support site does make a difference to many." (djfilippone)

Report issued yesterday rated 3 different treatments according to "problems" and cost.

Brachy- 3.4% had problems, $2,557.00 per year

Prostatectomy- 6.7% had problems, $3,206.00 per year

Ext Beam Rad- 7plu% had problems, $6,412.00 per year

Not good at computer stuff so I don't have page. I'm sure you will be able to pull up information.

Only men over 65 were used in study. Other information included in article.

Usual stuff about more study needed also in article.

Promise I'll learn how to click site addresses. kapm Previous discussions I participated in: Fear Prostratectomy then radiation still have PSA Blood Work Update
