Modelshipwright (Bill) posted a link earlier about a specific study relating to PCa. I went there to read the article, and found the site very informative overall.

Here is the link for the home page, check it out. New guys especially will like it I think.

Sonny I have been mentioning the InfoLink since the site was started last February 2008. I call it the InfoLink, but it's full name is The "New" Prostate Cancer Infolink.

Mike Scott and Dr. Arnon Krongrad set out and started this website as a news feed and also a social network for prostate cancer professionals, patients, advocates, and students. Mike is the Sitemaster of the news feed you linked above. Arnon is a surgeon and pioneer of Laproscopic radical prostatectomy.

Here is my link to my page in the social network: www.prostatecancerinfolink.ning.com/profile/tonycrispino

Anyone can join the social network, and you will see many doctors and industry professionals there.

I consider the site one of the top on the internet because Mike sorts through all the misinformation and posts fantastic commentary. So good, I thought, that I linked it at the new "UsTOO Las Vegas" website for the Las Vegas chapter of UsTOO which I am now the President/Facilitator for. ( ustoolasvegas.blogspot.com ). You can check it daily, as it is updated with the latest prostate cancer news.

I mentioned here about my involvement with Prostate Cancer International as a "regional representative". PCaI is the parent company of the InfoLink. So understand that I will from time to time work with Mike and Arnon at shows and in seminars. But the beauty of that website is the cost of membership ~ it's free.

It's a great site, well worth visiting on a regular basis as the articles are the most up to date. Tony, your commentary on some of the articles is very good as it gives a patient's advocate point of view as is sometimes missing from just the data and news.

When visiting this site, you can sign up for a daily mailing by email of the events of the day regarding PCa. I get an email every morning.
