Man to Man Prostate Cancer Education and Support Group

Men don’t have to face prostate cancer alone. The American

Cancer Society’s prostate cancer education and support group, Man to Man,

helps men cope with prostate cancer by receiving information and peer

support. The first meeting of 2009 will be held on Tuesday, January 13 at

6:30 p.m. at the American Cancer Society office located at 1504 College

Way.

Special guest David Dick, author of “Journal for Lalie-Living Through

Prostate Cancer,” and his wife Lalie will join the group for a discussion

and book signing. David Dick is a retired CBS News correspondent who was

diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1993, and shares his ups and downs

through this book. A journal for Lalie is a book for men who have, or may

someday have, prostate cancer, but equally for the women who will follow in

David and Lalie Dick’s footsteps as they negotiate the same rocky medical

trail.

Man to Man is a forum for men to learn about diagnosis and treatment

options through presentations, written materials and videos. Specialists in

the prostate cancer field share information on medical and quality of life

issues. News and information about research and treatment, as well as

messages from men living with prostate cancer and other Man to Man

activities, are offered to assist in the recovery process.

The Man to Man prostate cancer education and support group in Lexington, KY

meets on the third Thursday of each month at the American Cancer Society

office. Please RSVP by Calling Melanie at (859) 260-8286 or

support, door prizes and snacks. For information, call the American Cancer
