Why Upfront? Oncologists and urologists
talk about which treatment to do "upfront." Prostate cancer and treatments for
it may challenge men "upfront" with problems of urinary incontinence
or obstruction and erectile dysfunction.
Talking about cancer in an upfront
way isn't easy, yet it's vital. Prostate cancer patients
and partners are doing it in support groups, with family members,
doctors, employers and the world at large. Our mission is to make it easier. |
- Archiving of back issues is incomplete. We began with Upfront; now we are listing and linking features launched on cover pages. A web 'zine is not as static as a paper journal, but we want to give a feel for how things came together in any given timeframe.
We apologize if you've run into bad links while using this section. We're trying to make things work more reliably.
