Key Insights of Prostate Cancer Patients

ThruCancer brings patient insights from a different angle than the medical routines. Patient insights in this webpage come from the experiences of patients with a type of cancer. It informs patients with similar conditions of what is happening during treatment and the possible solutions.

Unusually, the material is not written by medical practitioners. Statements are from the patients’ words in the patients’ language to comfort their peers, inviting them to contribute to this knowledge. It asks cancer affected patients to share their story, a painful remembrance, accurate breakdown, or funny anecdote; their reflections, insights, and tips what a ThruCancer community member needs to guide and support the recovery journey.

• A cancer diagnosis is the start of a personal journey that will present genuine emotional and psychological challenges for both patients and their caregivers. The individual reality of mortality, treatment, dysfunction, and recovery could differ from the statistical facts. Life expectancy is the most frightening information in the medical literature; however, patients may experience different years of life with no final numbers! 
• Fellow patients share reflections provide insight into the reality’s patients will likely need to process and manage as a part of the treatment and recovery process. 
• Preparing a plan before treatment for contingencies that happens to peers can help alleviate an additional stress layer throughout recovery.
