Do you have biologic kids?  Are you living with a chronic and serious condition that could impact your children?  Have you ever spoken to them about this?

If you answered YES, to the first two questions, and NO to the last, this series of talks could be for you! With various partners, AnCan will approach different diseases to consider the issues around  an important ocnversation that is rarely discussed.

  • Should you share your disease with your kids – and if so, when?
  • Can it impact their  lives directly?
  • What steps shoud they take?

In this first series AnCan will address:

  • Prostate Cancer with UsTOO on June 30 @ 8 pm Eastern, moderated by Dr. Alica Morgans (Northwestern). Panel will include Dr. Ryan Bergland (Cleveland Clinic) and 4 pairs of fathers and sons/daughters.
  • Ovarian Cancer with NOCC on July 29 @ 8pm Eastern moderated by Dr. Pamela Muenster (UCSF BRCA Center). Panel will include mothers and sons/daughters and a medical professional TBD
  • Multiple Sclerosis with A Couple Takes on MS on Sept 30 @ 8 pm Eastern. We will be flipping the tables to include how kids speak to their prents when diagnosed with MS.

These are certainly strange times, and the need to connect with
others is more important than ever, especially for men who are
affected by prostate cancer and their loved ones. While living
with restrictions related to COVID, these men and women are still
dealing with important treatment decisions or management of side
effects associated with prostate cancer treatment. Us TOO is proud
to offer Prostate Cancer Connections, a new series of educational
and interactive webinars which will bring people together virtually
and safely to access empowering, decision-making information and
personal connections in a time of social distancing.
For the first of our three webinars, we are partnering with AnCan to
offer a discussion around how and if men with prostate cancer
should talk to their kids about why it could impact their lives.
