Hi Guys,
With Peters permission I am posting part of the letter I received in Email fron the University of Arizona. Right now they have 43 study subjects and need 80 for the study to be considered. This is a very well intentioned study funded by the Feds through the National Cancer Institute. There isn't a person here that isn't qualified to lend them a hand. You don't have to have an advanced case, any case is needed. I told them I would attempt to see if any of my online friends may be interested. Here is the letter I received, and if your are interested just contact Maria.
................................................................... I work at the Arizona Cancer Center in Tucson , Arizona through the College of Nursing . This cancer center is affiliated with University Medical Center , which has partnered with Nevada Cancer Institute. I am writing to you in hopes that you will be able to help me too. I am the Project Director for a Prostate Study. This study is for men diagnosed with prostate cancer and their partners (spouse, friend, son, etc.) and is funded by the National Cancer Institute. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a telephone delivered psychosocial counseling intervention compared to an educational control, on symptoms and quality of life for men with prostate cancer. I would be happy to send you information on this study to see if you and your wife Ruth would be interested in participating. It's like a "support group" via telephone. We provide a lot of support and education for men with this diagnosis and their partner and you know how important that is. Also, if you participate in the study and see how helpful it is, then hopefully you would refer other men with this diagnosis as well. Do you attend support groups? Or if you have any suggestions/recommendations on how I might be able to reach more men with this diagnosis to make them aware of this study I would greatly appreciate it. Can you tell me if there is someone I could contact at Nevada Cancer Institute to let them know about our study? Any assistance that you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
