Subject: A Patient's Request

 

Hi everyone,

 

Prostate Cancer Canada partners with the Canadian Cancer Society and
together we provide the Prostate Cancer Information Service (PCIS).  

PCIS is a help line serviced by information specialists who answer questions
by phone or email.  You can learn more by clicking on the link below.

t

 

Just so you know – PCIS keeps an updated list of all support groups so
information specialists can direct patients and families to a group in their
area!

 

 

Periodically I will receive a call from one of the staff  who has a specific
question or would like information from someone who has had the same or
similar experience.  

I usually match the person with a peer in a support group who can also
provide specific information about their own journey.

To each of you who have helped in the past we are incredibly grateful for
your support.

 

This week I received a very specific request which I would like to share
with each of you to see if anyone can be helpful or if we can direct this
patient to someone else in your group:

Here’s the scenario:

A patient had a prostatectomy in Feb but experienced a complication
resulting in a hole in his rectum. He has been using a urinary catheter and
a colostomy since surgery. His surgeon and a plastic surgeon 

are suggesting a repair of his rectum using tissue from his leg but are not
very hopefully that the surgery will be successful. He would like to speak
with a patient who had this type of surgical repair about their experience.

 

If you can be helpful please email or call me directly!

 

Thanks so much,

Anne
