AnCan is a huge proponent of inclkuding palliative care in your treatment plan and medical team!!
Palliative care is NOT about hospice or end-of-life ….. that is just a sub-set of palliative medicine. At AnCan we prefer to call it Symptom Management, the lingo used by UCSF. That is no coincidence as AnCan has an excellent longstanding relationship with the UCSF service. Dr. B.J. Miller is on our Advisory Board, and Dr.Mike Rabow, the Director of Symptom Management Service at UCSF, is a friend of the family too.
Last Friday, Dr. Rabow gave an excellent webinar on CureTalks titled Redefining Palliative Care – you can listen here. For those living with advanced cancer, auditing this webinar is a MUST in our view!

The TALK – Mutliple Sclerosis looks at how families speak within themselves when a family member is living with MS.
We’ll be speaking with pairs of parents, kids, and siblings, one of whom and sometimes both, live with MS. Our Moderator for this session is popular and well know MS neurologist, Dr. Aaraon Boster.
Living with any disease is not easy, and living with multiple sclerosis can be a special challenge since it impacts so many aspects of your life. This can be difficult to explain to your family… especially to your children and your parents. Layered on top of all the other family dynamics, you have to communicate life with MS too. We’ll take a look at how different generations cope with this issue by talking to peers living with MS and their family members who are most affected. And you’ll enjoy hearing from nationally recognized MS neurologist Dr. Aaron Boster, who will offer his perspectives and expertise on MS and family communication.

The Talk – Prostate Cancer

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.
