Us TOO International is pleased to announce the launch of our new online community, the Us TOO Prostate Cancer Support Community, in partnership with Inspire. Inspire is a leader in building safe and secure online health communities to connect patients, families, friends, caregivers and health professionals for health and wellness support.
This new web-based community will operate in addition to the long-standing Prostate Pointers email discussion lists, and provides new tools to find – or offer – information and support. For example, in addition to participating in discussion threads, members will be able to create a personal blog, and post pictures and videos. The community allows members complete control over their privacy choices – you can be as open or as anonymous as you wish.
The discussion topics include:
Newly diagnosed
Treatment options
Managing side effects
Exercise and nutrition
Wives, family, friends and caregivers
Prostate cancer and intimacy
Screening and early detection
Recurrence / advanced disease
Clinical trials
Advocacy
Local support group leaders
Using new, innovative technology for networking
Us TOO was founded on the model of peer-to-peer support, so these safe, secure online communities are a way extend reach and support for those who may not have a support group chapter nearby. Nowadays, we can all be virtual neighbors in the prostate cancer patient and survivor community. Many of you have great initiative and passion, and your willingness to engage others in conversation about these important subjects will help not only you, but MANY couples in finding options and solutions as you each navigate your personal prostate cancer journeys.
We hope you will find these communities a private, respectful place for open dialogue among people from all backgrounds and relationships.
