& 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. For more information
