Welcome to Coping with Prostate Cancer. This course is my way of sharing with others how my family, friends and I coped with Prostate Cancer. I am not a medical professional, and my intention is not to give medical advice. I am a 66-year old businessman and a Prostate Cancer survivor wanting to share my family’s and my experience and knowledge in the hopes it will help you to better understand Prostate Cancer and its elements – to help you and yours to cope. In addition to providing information on the basics of the Prostate and Prostate Cancer, this course will also include information on some of today’s treatments for Prostate Cancer. We’ll also look at strategies for coping with the inevitable physical and psychological effects of Prostate Cancer and its treatments.

Prostate cancer is the most common form of non-skin cancer found in North American men. In 1999, the incidence of prostate cancer in the SEER registry was 175/100,000 resulting in an estimated 200,000 North American men being diagnosed with the disease in 2001. Please note this is not a North American only problem. The instance of prostate cancer are not as high as a percentage of the population worldwide but still a very significant problem.

While prostate cancer has been felt to be an indolent disease of elderly men, it can be a very aggressive disease in younger men. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in North America. An estimated 32,000 American men died of the disease in 2001. Early detection and treatment is necessary to improve your chances of survival.
