Hi-Risk/Recurrent/Advanced PCa Video Chat, Feb 15, 2022

AnCan will remember our beloved Moderator, Tech Guru, FB Manager and buddy, Jake Hannam on Feb 20 @ 6pm EST. All are welcome – drop-in. NB It will be on Zoom not our virtual rooms – Zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/6516459299

AnCan was honored by the GU ASCO 2022 Conference this week, who accepted our abstract and poster. You can see just how effective our support groups(and recordings!) truly are: https://ancan.org/ancan-recognized-by-gu-asco22-for-peer-led-support-groups/

If you missed Dr. Rachel Rubin’s excellent webinar on Intimacy and Sexual Dysfunction, watch the recording at https://ancan.org/webinar-cancer-chro…

Next week’s meeting will be on Mon, Feb 21. That’s because Feb and March mess up our Meeting Calendar, so we have to make adjustments to avoid consecutive nights! All AnCan’s groups are free and drop-in – join us in person sometime!
