Us Too Warriors,
We all have different life paths and cancer experiences. It may help to hear how others have handled it. With that thought in mind Jerry has volunteered to share his experiences. This is his first installment. A second installment from his wife's view point as his care giver follows in a few weeks so stay tuned.

Best
Peter

Us Too International - A Forum for Her
A Forum for Her is a regular call series (and invite-only Facebook group) which focuses on women and offers important peer-to-peer support. So far, the calls have been going great and will continue to expand.

As group membership grows and we become more comfortable with each other, we will be looking for volunteers to lead smaller group calls. If you would like to volunteer to help lead a small group call, please email me at terril@ustoo.org or call 877-978-7866.

(Your involvement would not require too much time or effort beyond the typical call length of about an hour. We would only be looking for you to lead calls, not come up with information, materials, or topics.)

In order to address very specific experiences, these calls are open only to wives and female partners of men affected by prostate cancer.

Please note that space is limited - Contact me at terril@ustoo.org or 877-978-7866 to reserve your spot and to get the call-in information!
