Welcome to Healing Choices for Prostate Cancer

Have you recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer?

If so, then you have a lot to think about. For example, you need to know what your treatment options are and how these treatment options will affect your life.

Though your doctor probably mentioned treatment options when you received your diagnosis, the information can be difficult to understand at this emotional time. Once you've had time to get over the initial shock of a diagnosis, you'll have questions about your treatment and want some answers. That's what Healing Choices is all about.

Help Us Help You.

Healing Choices for Prostate Cancer is a study dedicated to finding out the best way to help men like you get important information about prostate cancer; information that will help you make the treatment decision that's right for you.

If you have not yet decided on a treatment, we urge you to call us and take part in the study.

This study is non-partial and unbiased. No surgical practice or pharmaceutical company has anything to gain. Funded by the National Cancer Institute, the only purpose of this study is to help you make decisions that are right for you and that reflect your values. To find out how useful the study was to you, we will call you twice during the next nine months to ask you a few questions.

To Participate in the Study, call toll-free: 1-866-258-7981.

Our recruitment team will ask you several questions to find out if you're eligible to participate in the study.

If you are eligible:

• you will be mailed a variety of important and helpful information on prostate cancer options -- ranging from printed materials to multimedia CD-ROMs.
• you will receive a follow-up phone call in 6 months
• you will receive a follow-up phone call in 9 months

The three phone calls will take an average of 20 minutes, total. All information is totally confidential and will not be shared outside the study team.

If you are not eligible:

• we will give you a list of phone numbers and websites where you can find answers to your questions about prostate cancer.
