Having received a diagnosis of prostate cancer, many men experience a multitude of emotions such as fear and anger. In addition, many men may have questions and want to know what and if they can do anything to take an active role in their care. To that end, there is a great deal you can do to become a more active participant in making decisions about your care. For example, you can:
Learn about the disease–educational materials are widely available on the Internet as well as through your health care provider
Find out about currently available treatment options and speak with your doctor about which ones may be appropriate for you
Have conversations with your doctor and nurses—you should be comfortable asking questions and seeking a second opinion
Join a support group—gain information and resources by talking to others
