More questions


I asked for additional questions readers believe important to be asked when prostate cancer has been diagnosed; here are a few submitted by one reader:
What other ways to treat this are there?
 
  Why is this the best for me?

Where can I get other treatment methods explained and/or done?
 
What happens if I don't do anything for a while?
 
  How long can I wait? 

Is there a support group that can help me and my loved ones, before, during and 
after treatment? 

What am I facing, nerve-sparing or non-nerve-sparing and why?
 
If the ED is severe, how can it be dealt with? Medications? Surgical 
implant?
 
If incontinence is a given, how can it be treated? Sling? Urethral
sphincter? 
                  How certain are the results?

We have not exhausted the questions that might be asked (In fact, my first question was, "I've got what?")...feel free to continue to offer questions you either asked or wish you had asked (I always think of the best questions about thirty minutes after I need them).
