LITTLE ROCK — Central Arkansas Peer Network will hold a meeting open to all prostate cancer survivors and their families on Monday, Oct. 11, from 6 to 8 p.m., at Second Presbyterian Church, Room 62. The church is located at 600 Pleasant Valley Drive in Little Rock.[more]
“The APCF Peer Network provides a safe and confidential environment for you to talk freely about your experiences as you progress through stages of diagnosis, treatment and recovery,” said spokeman Rachel White-Wallis. “You can communicate your concerns, questions, knowledge, and experience and gain valuable insight from other survivors. You may even find yourself laughing at humor that only fellow survivors would appreciate.”
A Survivor-Mentor is available by calling 1-800-338-1383.
White-Wallis added, “A survivor is anyone battling cancer – the person, partner, friend, caregiver and/or extended family.”
“I want to thank the Prostate Cancer Foundation for making these meetings available to me and thank the brave survivors who share their stories and give me encouragement as I face my ordeal,” said survivor Ron B. “I will go forward with the comfort that I will survive thanks to the encouragement of the members of the Prostate Cancer Foundation support group.”
Contact APCF at 501-748-1249.
