Ho’oponopono – is a Hawaiian practice of reflection and forgiveness. On Saturday, January 24rd at 11am EST, Cindy Cooley Brockway and I are hosting a second Morning Shared Journaling Experience that is a reinterpretation of this beautiful practice.
”I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.” Gentle, cleansing, creative and refreshing.
Be Your Own Best Advocate – Something we say a lot, definitely. And yeah, we wear it proudly on our shirts too. But we really mean it!
As an advocate myself, I truly believe change happens at the community level, and that includes in the doctor’s office as well. Times change, opinions change, and we’ve seen that a lot with Active Surveillance in particular. What was once controversial, is now a common discussion at the urologist. I’m so glad we had our Active Surveillance & Beyond! webinar series to make this even more mainstream.
On January 6th, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting the very esteemed Dr. Anne Katz (Certified Sexuality Counselor, and Clinical Nurse Specialist at CancerCare Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada) at our Active Surveillance Virtual Support Group. She is also the author of Prostate Cancer & The Man You Love. Dr. Katz is such a rockstar in the cancer community, so I was definitely starstruck!
She answered all the questions our gentlemen, and their partners had. I highly encourage you to watch as I’m sure your questions will be answered too! She provided information relevant to all within the prostate cancer community.
We here at AnCan want to sincerely thank Dr. Katz for providing this invaluable resource.

As they say, all good things must come to an end. While our 2020 Webinar Series “”Active Surveillance and Beyond” is finished, our support groups are still going strong! And if you’re feeling a little sentimental like we are, you can always rewatch the first, second, and third webinars.
Pathologist Dr. Jonathan Epstein (Director of Surgical Pathology at Johns Hopkins Institutions in Baltimore, Maryland) explains why he opposes reclassifying Gleason 6 as a noncancer, and why he thinks a second opinion should be sought on all pathologies, not just prostate cancer.
We want to graciously thank Dr. Epstein for answering our attendee’s questions!
