This presentation provides an overview of the challenges men face when living with the after effects of prostate cancer treatment, and the role of the prostate cancer nurse in supporting and empowering men to deal with such challenges. Issues include physical side effects (urinary, bowel, sexual function issues) and psycho-social impact (distress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, return to work issues, fear of recurrence, financial issues etc). Practical solutions to these, as provided by the prostate cancer nurse, will be discussed - as will resources and support networks available to prostate cancer survivors
