Subject: What's New in Prostate Cancer (April 2019)

 

More on Active Surveillance. Men on Active Surveillance often think that
Support Groups are not for them or that the topics discussed are not
relevant to them. Here is an on-line 'virtual support group' specifically
for Active Surveillance. 

I know nothing about it other than what I read here so I can't yet endorse
it.   https://ancan.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/AS-PCa-PDF-flyer.pdf

 

Depression while on ADT. We talk often in our meetings about side effects of
ADT - hot flashes, loss of libido, fatigue, risk of cardiovascular events.

This article highlights another issue. "there seems, finally, to be a clear
relationship between risk for depression and initiation of treatment with
ADT."
