Who should I have in my prostate cancer support group?

Mark Vogel (Board Certified Urologist) gives expert video advice on: Who should I have in my prostate cancer support group?; What factors will determine my prostate cancer outcome?; How do I handle family members 'playing doctor' with my prostate cancer diagnosis?

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.
