I was recently diagnosed with Prostate cancer at age 38. I would like to get in touch with others in a similar situation. Most people affected by prostate cancer are a lot older than me. My challenges involve starting a family, etc. If you know someone in my situation, and if you are interested in sharing your experience with me, please contact me.

    Hello,

    You may want to search the personal web pages to look for others that were diagnosed with prostate cancer at a younger age. To do this, click on "Personal Web Pages" on the left hand side of this page. Then enter the search criteria you are looking for. If you find someone you would like to contact, you can do so through the internal CSN email system.

    I wish you the best with your treatment.

    Take care and be well,

    Dana

    It looks like it has been a long time since you were on here.
    But, my husband and I are young-ish, I'm 35, and he's 54 and dealing with prostate cancer for the past three years, and we and would love to talk to you.
