Questions & Answers

Q: Who will I talk to when I call?
A: An experienced nurse. All nurse line staff are nurses who have been specially trained in prostate cancer education and have available to them an extensive electronic knowledgebase of prostate cancer information.

Q: What kinds of questions can I ask?
A: Ask anything related to prostate cancer. While we cannot diagnose prostate cancer or give personal medical advice over the phone, we can provide you with accurate information that can help you make important decisions. Use the nurse line to ask the questions that you can’t ask anyone else.

Q: Are there any hidden charges?
A: No. The prostate cancer nurse line service is absolutely free. Even the phone call is toll-free.

Q: Who covers the cost of this service?
A: The educational activities of the Prostate Cancer Institute are underwritten by companies in the healthcare sector who receive no sponsorship or promotional credit on the Website for their assistance, except as a disclosure. It is the belief of such companies that by motivating men with prostate cancer to seek treatment, the niche in which they operate will grow, and this indirectly will benefit their businesses.
