Thank You ! to everybody who attended our September meeting. We had a great turnout of 35 members – a great way to begin our new year. Thank You also to our new members who were willing and able to share their PC experience, and provide support to others in the room. We’ve said it many times, and it’s why we are here: Our room is such a wealth of experience across the broad spectrum of Prostate Cancer, from those seeking early and constructive information, to others who have had surgeries, cryotherapy, and other treatments, on-going therapies and even clinical trials.

Our October meeting will feature Dr. Frank Wuest from the Cross Cancer Institute. He will give a presentation on his research initiatives in Theranostics and Radiopharmaceutical Science, and the use of isotopes such as Lead-223, in targeted therapies.

Theranostics is an advanced medical field that combines disease diagnosis and therapy into one coordinated approach. It often uses specialized radioactive molecules to first locate and image specific cancer cells in the body, and then delivers targeted radiation to kill those exact cells, while sparing healthy tissue.

As always, we encourage everybody to bring along a supportive family member or friend who may be facing a PC diagnosis. If you are aware of someone struggling with PC, let us know, and we will try to help

Light snacks, coffee (including de-caf and water will be available.

Program to be announced, but our membership covers a broad expanse of experience as PC patients and survivors, generally from age 50 and up. Collectively, we have experienced everything from simple external radiation and radical prostatectomy surgery, to urinary reconstruction, and the latest in radiotherapies such as Pluvicto and participation in clinical trials such as Actinium. Our hope is to provide living information and support to one another as we live with Prostate Cancer. To do this, we hope to alternate sharing, supportive evenings with guest speakers, month to month.
