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, August 20, at 6 pm Pacific Time. The first hour will be a general discussion with questions and answers. 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 speakers. This month's guests are Tom and Lauren Hulsey. They will be speaking on their strategies for living fully and positively with prostate cancer in a talk they call "Life After a Shared Cancer Diagnosis: Lessons Learned."

Tom Hulsey is a research advocate at NCI-designated UT Southwestern. Tom is also the inaugural Patient Perspectives Editor for AUANews (American Urological Association). Additionally, he is a member of the AUA Clinical Trials Collective and the AUA Patient Education Council. Tom has served on the boards at ZERO Prostate Cancer and Mary Crowley Cancer Research. Tom was also president of the North Texas Prostate Cancer Coalition. He has served multiple times as a consumer reviewer for the Department of Defense Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP). Lauren Hulsey has shared the prostate cancer journey with Tom since its beginning and has been his source of strength, encouragement, and inspiration throughout.

Our next in-person meeting is on Wednesday, August 27, at 6 pm at the Greenwood Senior Center, 525 N 85th Street in Seattle. Our room is off the parking lot behind the building. Look for a sign on the door at the west end.

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