On Thursday, May 13, at 9:00 p.m, I'm hosting a free support call "Conquer Prostate Cancer: How Family, Friends and Support Groups Can Help You Get Through Treatment and Side Effects."
In this 45-minute interactive presentation you will learn:
• How to talk to your family and friends about your illness immediately after you are diagnosed.
• What facts spouses and partners need to know about prostate cancer and possible treatment side effects.
• How to help your spouse or partner prepare emotionally for prostate cancer treatment and possible side effects.
• How support groups can help you identify which treatment options you might consider, based on the benefits and risks of each treatment.
• What family and friends can do to help you identify the challenges you and they will have to face.
• What to say when well-meaning but ineffective acquaintances say, "Let me know if there's anything I can do for you."
• When to call on family or friends to help "run interference" for you with your doctor or other healthcare personnel.
• How to get your family or friends to help you find a reputable doctor for a second opinion.
• What family and friends need to do for you if your health gets worse, such as a recurrence of cancer or the development of advanced prostate cancer.
• The best way you and your family and friends can celebrate if your doctor says you are cured or have gone into remission.
The teleseminar call will be at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time, but everyone who registers will receive a recording of the call. To register for this free call, go to http://bit.ly/amGiq0.
