Our ZERO prostate cancer support group provides information and inspiration to prostate cancer patients and caregivers at all stages of the disease, from the newly diagnosed to the long-time survivor.

We meet twice each month—online via Zoom on the third Wednesday, and in person on the fourth Wednesday, Some people attend both meetings, but many choose one or the other. Meetings are free, volunteer led, and do not provide individual medical advice. Meetings last no more than two hours.

Next Meeting

Our next Zoom meeting is on Wednesday, July 17, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm Pacific Time. The first hour will be a general discussion regarding prostate cancer. This is a chance to learn from one another's lived experiences and to provide shared support.

At 7 pm we will be joined by our guest speaker. This month's guest is Marah Hehemann, MD. Dr. Hehemann is a urologist at UW Medicine who specializes in helping men with the common side effects of prostate cancer treatments, especially erectile dysfunction.

Dr. Hehemann has said, "At its core, practicing sexual medicine allows me to combine high level reconstructive surgical techniques with the ability to take care of some of our most vulnerable urology patients. Helping patients regain confidence, intimacy in their relationships and boost their quality of life is hugely rewarding."

Our next in-person meeting will be on Wednesday, July 22, at the Greenwood Senior Center, 525 N 85th Street in Seattle. That meeting also begins at 6 pm and will end by 8:00.

In-person meetings are smaller and more intimate. We do not have guest speakers or doctors at our in-person meetings and do not provide medical advice, but focus on listening and supporting on another on our cancer journeys.
