This is the "Advanced Prostate Cancer" group. Do you look at others? I feel that posts in (say) the Clinical Trials group will not be looked at, since so few people go there. Do you comer here mostly? (thanks)

Martin,

I think going on a trial takes a special kind of person. I did one, and was really pissed at how it turned out. But this is just my experience. I did it because I was relatively young at 53. Stayed on it about a year, until I got mets, and didn't get mets. It depended on who I was speaking to. I call it Left Coast, trial doc, and Right Coast, my docs, and they actually argued over it. It was a total disaster, and I haven't heard a word from the trial pharma company, who I signed a contract with. All I have to say is be real careful, a contract with a reputable drug company don't seem to be worth much.

I don't look at others. I actually didn't know you could. I'm going to the Clinical trials next. I wonder if there are any trials that are accomplishing anything of value. I have read a couple in other places that were stopped because the results weren't as good as expected. One day.

If you have joined multiple communities, don't the most recent posts from each of them show up on your Home page when you sign in? I just start there and read the new posts. Most of the time they are from this group, though sometimes I find myself down into a different community.

Oh maybe. I did not notice much activity on the "Trials" group.
