If you are the wife or female partner of a man with prostate cancer, we invite you to join a conference call to connect with other women facing similar challenges.
Because prostate cancer is a couple's disease, the woman is often subject to her own concerns in addition to those she shares with her partner.
A Forum for Her
is an ongoing series of conference calls and invitation-only Facebook group that provides women with important peer-to-peer support. For more information, visit
ustoo.org/aforumforher.
To register, email
terril@ustoo.org
or call 877-978-7866.
Us TOO is an advocacy partner assisting
The Metastatic Prostate Cancer Project (
MPCproject.org
), a nationwide genomic research study
for men with metastatic and/or advanced prostate cancer. Patients can join online and participate by sharing their medical information and samples. The project’s first data release included de-identified clinical, genomic, and patient-reported data.
The goal is to release new data every six months at
MPCproject.org/data-release
to help researchers better understand metastatic and advanced prostate cancer, and accelerate discoveries.
Many military veterans may have been exposed to a range of chemical, physical, and environmental hazards during their service. Healthcare providers can use the
Exposure Ed app as a tool for an informed discussion with veterans
about their individual exposure-related concerns and potential impacts on their health. To learn more and download the app, visit:

Take care, get lots of fresh air and sunshine, and let us know how we can help you with educational resources, support services and personal connections to others in the prostate cancer community.
All the best,
