Lions Australian Prostate Cancer site

This is a website dedicated to providing information on support services for men suffering prostate cancer, which is not as common as sites for women. It's mostly a directory, so I will let you cruise it yourself, I just want to highlight a couple of the advertised services.

Mensline Australia
This is a national 7 day a week service for men with family and relationship difficulties. Phone: 1300 78 99 78.
www.menslineaus.org.au 


You can find a peer support group in your area in a number of ways:
    • visit the Lions Australian Prostate Cancer website and search by your state: www.prostatehealth.org.au
    • visit the PCFA website which has a listing: www.prostate.org.au
    • call the Prostate Cancer Foundation Infoline on 1800 22 00 99
    • call the Cancer Council Helpline on 13 11 20.
You can also access others' experiences of prostate cancer by joining an email mailing list eg.

Prostate Cancer Research Institute
This non-profit US organisation, founded in 1996 by medical oncologists, provides a range of educational tools including nomograms and tools to calculate PSA doubling time.
