As odd as it may seem, and I must admit it seems odd to me – but a young lady is working on her Ph.D. thesis which involves Prostate Cancer Web Sites and their relevance or help to those who need information.
I was introduced to her site through Dr. Richard Wassersug, himself a Prostate Cancer survivor. Dr. Wassersug and I are to meet on Friday as I feel his work with advanced prostate cancer may be beneficial to report on and include in my forthcoming book. Before our meeting, Dr. Wassersug e-mailed me and suggested that I participate in her study.
Today I elected to do so between interviews. I am interviewing men and their partners as part of my research
for the book. The questionnaire was thorough and exposed me to several sites that I had not seen before. As most who read this blog know, ranking on google, is a function of a multitude of things, not the least of which is search engine optimization, keywords, etc. Therefore, some of the sites are a bit obscure but relevant nonetheless.
SUGGESTION: Help this young lady out in her research. Take the survey – I promise it doesn’t hurt (much less painful than a biopsy). I know poor joke. But then you have to laugh every once in a while.
As you evaluate the sites you may just find something new and helpful as we (I am a prostate cancer survivor) navigate these waters together.
REQUEST: I can’t help but request that if you or your partner has had an experience with prostate cancer…contact me. I would love to interview you. ESPECIALLY PARTNERS…There is a section of my book dedicated to you…so I need to hear from you. The interviews I conduct are confidential so not to worry about issues of identity. I can be reached at chuck@chuckgallagher.com or 828.244.1400.
HERE’S THE LINK TO THE SURVEY: http://porpus.org/ Enjoy the survey and if you find something that is helpful…please come back here to comment so that others can benefit.
Chuck Gallagher is a business ethics and fraud prevention expert. At age 47, Chuck was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer quite unexpectedly. Since then Chuck has worked as an advocate for Prostate Cancer Early Detection efforts and ways to help men through their journey with Prostate Cancer.
I am glad that you are a survivor and I hope that you are well. Nevertheless, I am against the PSA screening efforts that are widely advocated. See http://www.MDWhistleblower.blogspot.com. For every survivor like yourself, many dozens of other men have been needlessly harmed and have endured emotional and financial costs.
Thanks for the link to the doctor’s study. Sounds like good information. Right now my dad is reading James Norris’s book about prostate health, which he said has been very helpful. You should check it out!
Hello,
I have a question about your blog. Please email me!
Thanks,
David
