ProstateAction.com is NOT a medical website. It was developed to provide what we hope will be useful information for men who have been diagnosed with prostate disease…and their family members. We do NOT have doctors to answer your questions, we do NOT make medical referrals or offer second opinions, and we will not reply to questions about any specific case. Instead, we hope that you will use our LINKS section to locate other sites of interest; utilize our message boards to discover prostate cancer screenings and related events; and to use the Forum area to “discuss” prostate cancer issues with others who share your interests and concerns. We reserve the right to delete any objectionable postings.
