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, June 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 Michael Schweizer, MD. He will be speaking on the value of clinical trials for prostate cancer patients, including a new trial based on the use of estrogen patches.

Dr. Michael Schweizer is an oncologist who specializes in treating patients with bladder, prostate and testicular cancers. His research focuses on developing new drugs and therapies to treat these cancers and to help speed advances from the lab into the clinic. He leads a number of innovative translational clinical trials, including studies evaluating high-dose testosterone as a therapeutic option for men with advanced prostate cancer.

Our next in-person meeting will be on Wednesday, June 24, 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.
