My new neice's friend has incurable prostate cancer. I gave her links
to alt.support.cancer.prostate & sci.med.cancer.prostate & ACOR. Found
actual links.

I'm finding it almost impossible to use this computer, so I cannot
resksearch easily. Does anyone know if these are good links? Any
others? Sorry for cryptic.

Hi Fig,
http://listserv.acor.org/archives/prostate.html (select "digest" when
"joining")
The other two ( you posted above) if she/he's subscribing through a
software newsreader, on his computer

http://news.individual.net/ or http://aioe.org/ if his/her ISP does not
carry newsgroups.

or through Google.
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.support.cancer.prostate
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/sci.med.cancer.prostate

That webpage that Steph posted is very good for someone who's just been
diagnosed before they get overwhelmed with too much info or webpages or
options on alt.support.cancer.prostate

The way you worded it "has incurable prostate cancer" makes me wonder if
he's been diagnosed late (may stlll get surgery, RT, hormone therapy or
chemo) or exhausted all the treatments (probably knows the ropes and would
be welcome here, see below) or elderly (low grade, low PSA) and not
aggressively treating (would probably benefit from being with the posters
on alt.support.cancer.prostate and read or post here).
alt.support.cancer or through Google
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.support.cancer

I don't know much about history except he's youngish & sold house in LA
to move with wife to Vegas where cost of living is much lower to live
out time left. I'll put your & Steph's links & comments into an email
to niece in Austin to send to her friends. Comments are useful as
neither of us knows his newsreader status. We don't know if he knows
about any of these resources. Thanks so much to both of you.

Fig,

Even if someone as prostate cancer that is "incurable", that does not
mean that he has to die of prostate cancer. Using systemic treatment
instead of local treatment, it is possible to slow down the doubling
rate of the prostate cancer population. Check out:
http://www.prostateweb.com for more information. Also, if you are
curious as to the theory of why this works, you should check out my
article at: http://www.tbiomed.com/content/2/1/10

Inappropriate. While a name may occasionally /casually mentioned we don't
"advertise" doctors on this newsgroup and I find it hard to believe there
aren't other compassionate oncologists in California.

Inappropriate; not having passed Phase III or IV clinical trials.
Please don't post those here again.
If you want discussion about those, try sci.med or sci.med.diseases.cancer or
sci.med.diseases.prostate and/or any combo of those.
