| WELCOME | Welcome to our website. We have organized it according to your needs, whether you are newly diagnosed, a "seasoned survivor" or have recurrent or advanced prostate cancer. Click on any of the buttons above to go to the topic. |
| OUR MISSION: | To help survivors of prostate cancer and their families lead healthy and productive lives, physically, mentally and spiritually, by offering fellowship, shared counseling and discussion sessions, both formal and informal, pertaining to updated medical options and a positive mental outlook. |
| WHAT WE ARE: | A support group that provides information, education, real-life experience, treatment information and emotional support to men and their loved ones who have been impacted by prostate cancer. |
| WHEN DO WE MEET: | Our support group general meeting is once a month, always on the last Tuesday of the month from 7:00-9:00 p.m. |
| WHERE DO WE MEET: | The meeting is in the two story redwood Education Building behind the Santa Cruz Dominican Hospital. We meet in the Katz Cancer Resource Center on the 1st Floor which is also the location for the American Cancer Society. |
| AFFILIATIONS: | The Santa Cruz County Prostate Cancer Support Group is affiliated with and supported by the American Cancer Society and the Prostate Cancer Self-Help Group of the Central Coast. We are also a chapter of Us Too International. |
| PARTNERS: | The Santa Cruz County Prostate Cancer Support Group welcomes wives, partners, or significant others of men with prostate cancer, to attend our general meetings and take part in activities. We believe that prostate cancer is a disease that impacts the family, and as such, family members want to be involved in decisions and support activities. |
