Men Seek 'the Truth' on Prostate Treatments

CJ sent us this insightful article from the Boston Globe and quotes it:

"Men who have suffered prostate issues feel they were misled about the sexual side effects of their treatment. ''Why can't we get good solid information?'' said one Boston man....The result is that with 180,000 men diagnosed and 55,000 undergoing prostate-removal surgery each year, thousands of survivors are glad to be alive, but painfully disappointed with their sexual function."

CJ comments, "Perhaps its time that hospitals start treating men's cancer issues as importnant as they do for breast cancer, and supply support and information in a manner that is effective for the continued health of men."
