Got Prostate Cancer Questions? BROTHERS Has Your Answers: Real-life insights in one click
Introducing The Community Exchange, where men digitally share real-life prostate cancer experiences with others. Real stories. Real men. Real reasons to take the malignancy seriously. Knowing you're not alone can make all the difference in the world.
Sure, your doctors, specialists, and experts must advise you professionally, but there’s no better way to get clearer prostate cancer decision-making support than straight from the proverbial horse’s mouth—your brothers who are in the same boat.
At BROTHERS, we fully appreciate the stress and worry men face once diagnosed with prostate cancer. Founder, Len D. Henry, and Project Manager, Alex-Bobbie Mason, have both been there and have chosen different treatment options—radiation vs. prostatectomy. Both have scoured the internet, consuming as much learning as possible before making their own decisions. Together, they now bring a wealth of information and personal experience to BROTHERS for you. Moreover, on top of their own personal insights and those of guest experts, BROTHERS opens the floor to all men to openly or privately share their own.
To kick things off, The Community Exchange , the pulse of BROTHERSfaf.com, hosts over a dozen Forums, each featuring unique real-life topics and questions designed to support men who are grappling with prostate cancer, as they try to balance the varied aspects of the malignancy, from diagnosis to recovery. “It is critical for men of all ages, around the world, from celebrities to Joe Average, to be mindful of the health challenges they might face, particularly those with limited access to assessment and care,” says Henry. But it doesn’t just stop there on BROTHERS. “Men can register, answer existing questions, pose their own questions, and get responses from others, real perspectives in real time —a perpetual digital men’s group if you will,” affirms Mason, who serves as moderator.
Navigating each unique forum is easy, he continues. “Guys just choose a topic. And there are several to choose from. They can choose what to answer, and as many as they like.” Based on feedback, engagement, and developments, Mason will continually be developing more. Forums are open, and visitors can choose to participate privately too. You must register on the website to participate.
This is the beginning of a beautiful thing. As BROTHERS grows, men and their loved ones will come to appreciate how invaluable this experience truly is. The Community Exchange connects you effortlessly with other men in the same situation, so we’re all better armed for what may come.
Welcome aboard!
