==== About the Prostate Forum ======
Prostate Cancer? You are not alone. The Prostate Forum of Orange County (prostateforum.org) is an all- volunteer organization that has been providing support to prostate cancer patients for more than thirty years. Our goal is to listen, to inform, and to educate, so that people learn to advocate for themselves and become active collaborators with their medical teams in managing their own treatment.
The Forum hosts monthly online support meetings (via Zoom) on the second and fourth Tuesday of most months, beginning at 5:00 pm Pacific Time.
At the Newly Diagnosed Group, every 2nd Tuesday at 5:00 pm Pacific Time, get help understanding your Prostate Cancer diagnosis. Learn what it means. Talk about your options.
At the Advanced/Recurrent Group Group every 4th Tuesday, beginning at 5:00 pm Pacific Time, share your concerns and experiences, and find out what other Prostate Cancer warriors are saying and thinking. Learn about resources, advances, and breakthroughs - advanced treatment options are improving all the time.
