One thing that always surprised me during 17 years of treating prostate cancer was the lack of dependable support groups in the area. I want to change that. Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men. Each of you probably knows several men who are currently dealing with it. We are talking about a cancer that is uniquely complicated on many levels and which affects both quantity and quality of life.

I am forming an inclusive, sympathetic, supportive fraternity of men who want to help each other and benefit from each other: the Lowcountry Prostate Cancer Support Group.

ALL men are welcome. You DO NOT have to be a patient of ours. That means men who were recently diagnosed and reeling & looking for guidance, men who have been treated & are dealing with the aftermath, men who are concerned about their risk of cancer—frankly, any men. Nobody is immune. Everybody has something to offer. *No spouses for our March 30 meeting, but we do know how important spousal support is and will welcome them to a future meeting.

Our support group meetings will be here at The Men’s Center. Refreshments will be served. This is going to be primarily you men helping each other. I will be there to answer questions about prostate cancer from an experienced urologist’s perspective. I am happy to do a Q & A or I can just facilitate conversation. Or I can just stand in the corner and watch. It doesn’t really matter to me. I just want a place for men to go & realize that they are not alone in this fight.
