An “Us Too” affiliated support group serving the Sacramento Region since 1992 for men with prostate cancer, their families and friends.
The support group exists to provide a discussion forum for:
Men who are newly diagnosed
Men who have completed their primary treatment
Men with recurrent cancer
Families, friends and other interested individuals
Some goals of these meetings are:
To exchange information and experiences since diagnosis.
To increase members’ understanding of prostate cancer and its treatment.
To enable members to express the intangible effects of prostate cancer in a friendly and empathetic setting.
To foster an increased awareness of prostate cancer as a major health concern in the community at large.
To educate and empower each man to take control of his treatment plans so that he can make treatment choices satisfactory to him.
