From Dale Bryant at Tri-Cities:
The Tri-Cities Support Group's speaker will be Howard Wolinsky, a co-founder of Active Surveillance Patients International. Howard is an award-winning medical and science journalist from Chicago, who wrote for the Chicago Sun-Times. He recently started writing a newsletter: TheActiveSurveillor.com
Howard is the author or co-author of three books about medical issues.
Since he has been so willing to speak to people and write about his experience with prostate cancer, he is an ideal choice to introduce the topic of how to talk about prostate cancer to family, friends, and those with whom we come in contact. We are hoping that his talk will serve as a springboard for an interesting sharing of information on how comfortable people are to talk about their prostate cancer journey with others.
Nearly 200 people attended an AnCan webinar featuring Drs. Stacy Loeb, NYU Langone/Manhattan VA, and Justin Gregg, of University of Texas MD Anderson, on the impact of sleep, exercise, and nutrition on prostate cancer of all grades.
