详细描述
More cancer patients are now being cured or living a long time with the disease. Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the cancer diseases, where the treatment can give some late side effects and cause reduced life quality.
This project will as a part of a ph.d. study, test and evaluate a rehabilitation programme, which will empower the mens health and give them resources to face at new everyday life.
The project is consisted of a randomised controlled test of the intervention and qualitative evaluation.
More and more Danish men are diagnosed with PC, the incidence increased with 34 percent from 2005-2007. This is caused partly due to a change in the age in the society and due to earlier diagnostics. PCa is now the most known cancer occurring in men in Denmark.

It is possible to cure the patient, íf his disease is discovered in time, but there are some late side effects bond to the treatment, and they have influence of the patients quality of life. These are: impotence, incontinence, problem with the bowels, anxiety and depression.
