Video provides support for men with prostate cancer
A new video, "Not By Myself," provides a basic overview of prostate cancer, as well as intimate interviews with African-American prostate cancer patients and their families. The video, which was introduced at the recent National Medical Association annual meeting in Washington, DC, is designed to reassure African-American men experiencing the trauma of diagnosis and treatment for prostate cancer that they are not alone.
The free video covers the following issues:
- common reactions to cancer diagnosis;
- tips for coping with the emotional and physical side effects of treatment;
- discussing treatment with your physician.
The video is made possible through grants from Amgen, a global biotechnology company based in Thousand Oaks, CA, and PRAECIS PHARMACEUTICALS in Cambridge, MA. To obtain a free copy of the video, call (877) 550-9624.
