The websites below may be accessed for additional information regarding Prostate Cancer:
We are no longer adding to our Links webpage. The Links webpage was designed specifically for prostate cancer issues but we broadened it some years ago to provide information on other health issues for other “not-for-profit” organizations. We have concluded we have gone beyond our original intent for the webpage, had sufficiently covered most other health issues, but were inundated by a wide variety of health organizations to add their health issue (too often the same health issue but by different, competing, organizations). We have removed those links and will no longer be accepting further additions unless they are prostate cancer specific. We trust you will understand. Further, we are not regularly monitoring this Links webpage while permitting the links already present to remain. Please note that some links may no longer exist.
Us TOO International/ZERO Prostate Cancer
www.zerocancer.org –
Headquarters for our Wichita, Kansas chapter.
In 2021, ZERO merged with Us TOO International, the nation’s first prostate cancer support group network. Us TOO started in early 1990 when Chicago-based Urologist Dr. Gerald Chodak met with five patients, Edward C. Kaps, John DeBoer, Edward von Holst, John Moenck, and Vincent Young, to discuss their prostate cancer journeys. For the next 30 years, Us TOO would grow to a network of 200+ support groups that helped transform resignation into determination and fear into hope for men and their families dealing with prostate cancer. With the ZERO and ]Us TOO merger, patients now have access to a single prostate cancer support powerhouse.
