Potters, Prostate Cancer can indeed be frightening to confront.
But right attitude and relevant information can make the difference
between what feels like a death sentence, and an event that can enhance
life. Some aspects of PCa that initially seem the most intimidating can
turn out to be relatively minor in the larger scheme of things.
And, for sure 'tis true: 'You can't have sex if you're dead.'
Early diagnosis, an experienced Urologist you trust, and a personal
course of action you can set for yourself and believe in are key to
survival. A supportive and understanding mate is of immeasurable help,
but if unavailable, you go it alone.

...but I digress.
The sheer load of information, and multiple avenues of choice for
treatment of Prostate Cancer can be overwhelming, (much like being a
potter) but if ever there was an opportunity to find your own way
through a maze this is it. The support system already in place to help
those confronting PCa is astounding. Many who have been where you are
now; been there and back, can be very generous with their support and
are willing to help you find your way. If I can help answer a specific
question feel free to send a personal e-mail.
