I bought those same underwear as it's much easier and cheaper to wash them. But I worry too when they get full, the material gets wet and there is nothing between them and what I am wearing for pants or shorts. I have the cup liners and a variety of Depends and similar ones which I am wearing at night or if I have to be away from home for more than an hour or two. It is beyond embarrassing knowing I am wearing these things, but for the most part, they have done what they are supposed to do and I am the only one that knows I have them on. I am looking forward to being one of those men who will look back at this time and remember when I had to wear them because I no longer need to.

I have also found an incredible prostate recovery group for men. It's a national zoom meeting that gets together a few times a week to talk openly about what we are all going through. I am glad to share the information if you are interested. They are a non-profit group and have helped me with a safe space to share.

Ancan.Org holds weekly meetings for advanced prostate cancer people. I’ve attended them for about four years. They also hold them for low and intermediate twice a month and for active surveillance weekly. They have people that have been giving assistance for over 15 years to people with all different levels of prostate cancer, They can answer your questions if you haven’t found answers elsewhere. If you a new to one of the meetings they work with you first.

They also have a meetings for caregivers, veterans to help with care options, and speaking freely meetings for men with many cancers, that discuss everything but treatment. Also have speaking freely for veterans. There’s more meetings besides that.

The Reluctant Brotherhood holds a number of different meetings every week. They have general prostate cancer meetings and advanced prostate cancer meetings twice a month. They also help answer questions people have.
