We celebrated dads this Father’s Day by treating them to a ballgame and hitting a home run against prostate cancer. The weekend was full of great memories at the Harrisburg Senators with our physicians and staff as we raised funds for ZERO – The End of Prostate Cancer. Thank you for all your support!

The SNMMI (Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging) held their annual convention this year in Pennsylvania. As part of their multi-day program they have a patient education day, and I was invited by Shawn after meeting her at the Run/Walk in Harrisburg last year. I was asked to share a patient’s perspective as it relates to prostate cancer, and I decided to write a speech about fear and its impact on patients and caregivers and then share my success story from stage IV to remission.

Prostate Cancer Support and Education

At this month’s Prostate Cancer Support Group meeting, Joshua Shipley, MD, of Andrews Patel Hematology/Oncology will discuss the topic of “Monitoring Post Surgery or Radiation – What Happens if my PSA Rises?”

Whether you’re newly diagnosed and just learning about prostate cancer, or if you’re a long-term survivor and want to know what’s new in prostate cancer treatment and management, this session is for you.

Registration is appreciated by calling 717-724-0380.

As a prostate cancer survivor, you know better than anyone how important early detection can be and you can probably remember how your pre-cancer self viewed prostate cancer.

If you could go back and give yourself some advice before diagnosis and treatment, what would you say?

SPARE PARTS gives you the opportunity to help other men understand prostate cancer—from early detection to life after treatment.

Please join us! Go online to register here. Or download the paper form to mail.
