Prostate cancer support groups
provide a valuable opportunity to connect with others for education, support and perspective on managing every aspect of the disease – from testing to active surveillance, treatment options and side effect management.
Us TOO has a network of more than 200 support groups in the U.S. and abroad.
We thank all of the support group leaders who volunteer their time and leadership to provide this peer-to-peer forum for men diagnosed with prostate cancer and their loved ones. We encourage those who are interested to
find an Us TOO support group near you
.
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 the same 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 that provides women with important peer-to-peer support. Two calls are scheduled for Wednesday, February 27, at 12:00 pm and 6:00 pm Central Time. To register, email
terril@ustoo.org
or call 877-978-7866.
If you’ll be near Fort Myers, FL, on Saturday, March 2, plan to attend
