When initially diagnosed (and beyond), it helped me to read Patrick Walsh MD's book Surviving Prostate Cancer and the free Patient Guide from the Prostate Cancer Foundation pcf.org (download or hard copy).
Best wishes.

When I chose to explore going to UFHPTI because the offered proton radiation treatments versus photon I subscribe to receive their infomation packet.

In that packet they went into the differences between proton and photon, research, and informaiton on their treatments. Part of the package was two books. One of those two books was Walsh MD's bood on surviving prostate cancer.

I have suggested MCC posters to asked for UFHPTI free information packed as it includes those books mentioned on MCC as well as ton's of informatino and research. UFHPTI is a State of Florida Medical Facility and the doctors and techs are all salaried.

This (salaried employees) was make clear to me my first consultation there and that any additional test they wanted to do would be based on what they felt I needed specificially with no financial incentive to them by ordering additional tests or the type treatments they would recommend.

It is a ton of information made free to anyone and regardless of where you chose to go it can help as so much information is given to you. I had not a single incident of anyone at any time pushing me to go there only to let them know if I wanted to.
