Survivors of prostate cancer (PCa) sometimes suffer (silently) from the depressing after-effects of impotence (erectile dysfunction) and incontinence (loss of bladder control). Eleven urologists across Chicagoland are offering support to communities that they serve by hosting health talks entitled “Life after Prostate Cancer” and “PROSTATE HEALTH - Reviewing BPH, and Complications of Prostate Cancer Treatments.” Many of these FREE talks will include the personal journey of a prostate cancer survivor, and they are sponsored by American Medical Systems.
Interested men (and their partners) are encouraged to call the RSVP number to reserve their seat(s) right away as they will fill up quickly. Light refreshments will be served. Each talk lasts around an hour and a half, and questions are encouraged. For any updated talk info call 877-433-2873 or go to these sites:
