Dr. Strum is now giving internet replies again on the forum thing called P2P and just answered a patient concerned with HGPIN issues, his answers therein were very good as usual. He then announced he has a new book out and should be available as of today, here is that added reply on his ebook:


I am in the process of completing an eBook on
Essential Concepts in Survival for PC
patients. Much of this would be applicable to
you. I hope to have it up on Amazon's Kindle
books today or tomorrow. You can download this
for any computer or device e.g., desktop, laptop,
iPad, Android, iPhone, Kindle Fire, etc. You do
need to have the free software available from
Amazon. Google "Kindle Apps" or perhaps Nancy
will inform you how to do this. This eBook does
not require purchase, but it can be loaned out
for free (although the $9.99) is certainly reasonable.

(Myself always impressed with his wisdom and background, not only a long time PCa specialist but also has pathology background and in touch with the latest and greatest in PCa issues and knowledge, he told me he reads like everything, all those Journal articles like ASCO alone would be a huge task). Perhaps the paperback book will be coming thereafter sometime?

Bump, the book is available (ebook) see info from another website (today):

Dr. Strum has just published a new eBook "Prostate Cancer: Essential
Concepts for Survival" which is available on Amazon. If you don't own
a Kindle eReader, you can get a free Kindle reading app for your
computer. You can also read a free sample on the Amazon site.

Here's the book's description:

The Goal
Prostate Cancer Essential Concepts for Survival distills 30 years of
the author's experience as a medical oncologist specializing in
prostate cancer while working with thousands of men with this
disease. Within "Essential Concepts", eight crucial concepts linked
to optimal outcome are presented and illustrated. The reader is able
to discuss these with his medical team and incorporate them into a
refined strategy to beat this disease.

The Contents
Within this eBook are 32 color graphics, 7 tables, over 150
peer-reviewed citations, a comprehensive medical glossary and links
to valuable resources.

Kudos to Dr. Strum for yet another resource that will help PCa patients.

zufus,

good to know on the new book

however on the 2p2 thing, I have asked what I thought were several good questions over the past couple of years, and never got a response. are the questions cherry picked, or is he too busy to answer all of them.

Sometimes he was not available or was away for awhile and yes there are alot of questions posed and other docs like Dr. Barken, Lam and some others have answered some of those questions. They usually want good background info like a PCD (personal cancer digest) so as to start with parameters and history stuff. I don't know if they cherry pick, suppose anything is possible, but over the years there have been some difficult scenarios or histories, that got some got analyzation and answers. Still it is a good thing, cause it is free and shared on the internet for all to look it over.....would take a lot of guts and transparency for any doc to answer and hang their reputation upon, not for the faint hearted.

zufus,
Are there any recent P2P responses? I have never signed up for the site but I do see archived responses from the late 90s through 2005 or 2006. When I clicked on a later year, I get a message that I am not authorized to see those pages. I assumed, maybe erroneously, that the site was no longer active.

Just had one yesterday about a guy with HGPIN whom had questions. You might need to rejoin at www.prostatepointers.org (I think will get you over that way)

Bob:

Thanks for the heads up on the book. Bought it and already reading. A definite ***** addition to the arsenal (and i'm only on chapter one). Walsh gives the lay of the land; this is more samurai warrior handbook for survival.

See you Tuesday ...

Already got it. Not really much is new. New drugs, less supplements.
