SURVIVOR STORIES

The list below shows the names of the men who have updated their prostate cancer experiences within the last week. It is in alphabetical order by first name. Clicking on the man's name will take you to his story. You can find stories from men who have a similar diagnosis to yours by choosing from the various criteria in the box below.

For example, if you are 54 years old, to see stories of men diagnosed at a similar age, choose the 50 to 59 range of ages in the "Age at Diagnosis" box. If you wanted to see men in this age group residing in Texas, then you would select the age group and also select United States/Texas in the "Country/State of Residence" box. If your PSA was 8.6 at diagnosis and you wanted to see if there were men in your age group in Texas with a PSA like yours, then you would choose the range between 8.0 and 8.9 in the PSA box as well as the age and residence choices.

When you hit the "Search" button and the stories listed will match the criteria you have chosen. If you make the search too narrow, you might find there are few stories listed. To find more stories, widen some of the criteria.

One of the choices is between Active and Inactive stories. We ask all contributors to update their stories annually. If this is done the stories are listed as Active stories. If the contributors do not update - usually their e-mail addresses are no longer valid - we move their story to "Inactive" status, noting the date of the last update.

The memorial stories of men who have passed on are listed as Active.
