How does one cope with the diagnosis of prostate cancer?
The diagnosis of prostate cancer may change the lives of both the patient and their family. It is quite normal at times for patients or their loved ones to feel frightened, angry or depressed. For most people sharing their concerns and feelings can help these natural reactions. Patients may find comfort in discussing their problems with other prostate cancer patients. They should bear in mind however that no two individuals or tumours are the same. The patient’s doctor is the best person to discuss his own condition, to avoid a little knowledge being a worrying thing!
