Who should I have in my prostate cancer support group?
Once prostate cancer has been detected, we like the patient to come in and talk to us. Often, it's a good idea to have their spouse or their significant other accompany them to hear all of the discussions between the patient and the doctor. Beyond that, their own personal physician may be able to advise them as to how the prostate cancer should be treated. Trusted individuals such as clergymen, friends, and other relatives may also be helpful to that individual in determining how to deal with their prostate cancer.
