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, October 15, 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. During this hour, we will be joined briefly by Dr. Kerri Winters-Stone from OHSU to answer questions about her iLIVE exercise program.

At 7 pm we will be joined by our guest speakers. This month's guest is Dr. Yaw Nyame. Dr. Nyame will be speaking on recent advances in prostate cancer surgery.

Dr. Yaw Nyame is a surgeon, researcher, educator, and patient advocate who specializes in urologic oncology and general urology. His clinical interests include open and minimally invasive kidney, prostate, bladder and testicular cancer surgeries. Dr. Nyame has a research interest in healthcare disparities in urologic cancers, with a focus in both the molecular epigenomic and health services aspects of health inequities in prostate cancer and other urologic malignancies

Our next in-person meeting is on Wednesday, October 22, 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.
