Guides 2011

[Aide Broeckel]

PCFpublishes a series of guides as part of our commitment to connect patients and their loved ones to the latest information on prostate cancer diagnosis, treatment, and research. You can order or download these guides here. Please note that we now offer two separate guides based on type of prostate cancer. One guide focuses on localized disease and the other on recurrent and metastatic prostate cancer.

If you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and your doctor has told you that your cancer is early stage, still in the prostate, localized, curable with treatment, or low grade, this guide is for you. The guide includes information about treatment options, possible side effects and their management, healthy living tips, and family cancer risk.

If you have been newly diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer, you have many treatment options. If you have previously been treated for prostate cancer and your PSA is rising, or your doctor suspects that your cancer may have recurred, please see this guide. This guide also covers treatment of advanced prostate cancer that is progressing despite hormone therapy and includes information about the latest therapies and clinical trials.

Additional Facts for Black Men and Their Families provides special facts and guidance regarding Black men and prostate cancer. 1 in 6 Black men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime (vs. 1 in 8 White men). Black men are also more than twice as likely to die from the disease. The guide includes personal thoughts from Charlie Wilson, Brian Custer, and Snoop Dogg. (8 pages)

Our ecoregional planting guides, Selecting Plants for Pollinators, are tailored to specific areas of the United States. You can find out which ecoregion you live in and get your free guide by entering your zip code below. For Canadian Guides click here

Starting on Page 16 of the planting guides you can find lists of plant names that will attract pollinators and help you build beautiful pollinator habitat! Print these lists and bring them to your local native plant, garden center or nursery.

These guides were funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, the C.S. Fund, the Plant Conservation Alliance, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management with oversight by the Pollinator Partnership, in support of the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign. To learn more about why planting for pollinators is important, click here.

Whether you are a farmer of many acres, land manager of a large tract of land, or a gardener with a small lot, you can increase the number of pollinators in your area by making conscience choices to include plants that provide essential habitat for bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, hummingbirds, and other pollinators.

"I am wrote a book on bees, wasps, and ants for gardeners and have included reference to your guides and your website, both of which are super. You are providing a great service to the gardening community. Many thanks."

-Eric Grissell Sonoita, Arizona

"I found the guide to be visually pleasing and well written. I found my way without effort and loved the print size (using a laptop). I have never thought of flies as pollinators. Now, I feel almost bad for the swats".

- Sharon Weston

"I recently downloaded your guide for the region appropriate for Connecticut. I found it to be just what I was looking for in terms of plantings I can add to my yard that would support pollinators. It provided a lot of information on what kinds of pollinators are in my area, as well as many tips to make my yard more user-friendly for bees, butterflies, birds, etc. I don't think there is anything you didn't cover. The presentation was concise, easy-to-read, and enjoyable. Thanks so much for all the hard work that went into these guides. I look forward to improving my property both for myself, and all the wildlife that relies on it."

-Lisa Banik Waterbury, CT

"Your guide has opened up a whole new area of ecological observation and quick reference as to what species of pollinators use what plants as well as an opportunity through personal observation as to what additional pollinator are important . All of these pollinators and the pollination process are providing food and future fruits and seed production for birds. People must realize that you cannot have the butterflies and moths without the caterpillars and you cannot have food for the birds and other wildlife without the pollinators."

-Jerry W. Davis Certified Wildlife Biologist

The output shown from running webpack in the guides may differ slightly from the output of newer versions. This is to be expected. As long as the bundles look similar and run correctly, then there shouldn't be any issues. If you do come across an example that seems to be broken by a new version, please create an issue and we will do our best to resolve the discrepancy.
