Our support group, which meets monthly, is open to survivors, new patients, caregivers, and anyone else interested in learning more about prostate cancer and its treatments. It also serves to connect newly diagnosed patients with survivors who have underwent a variety of therapies, in an effort to help the patient make a more informed treatment decision.
