DD, I don't see a Zoom support group specifically for prostate cancer listed in the Events. Many inperson support groups at Mayo moved to Zoom over the past couple of years. @muradangie might know more.

Colleen, I was fortunate enough to be at Mayo Rochester for radiation therapy last week when the prostate cancer support group met in person for the first time since COVID. Interesting, they also did it on Zoom but the Zoom didn't work. IT (information technology) was not involved but I think they could have easily fixed it.
Colleen, it says there is a prostate cancer support group meeting right now but there is no Zoom link posted.

@dd2312 & @colleenyoung, I do not see any Mayo Clinic virtual prostate support groups being offered at any of the other Mayo Clinic sites.
If you are in Rochester, our in-person support group is actually resuming in Rochester on the second Wednesday of each month. It resumes on Wednesday, September 14th @ 12pm CDT in the Baldwin First Floor Conference Room, Room 1-507, Baldwin Building. Also, there is a group called Us TOO! (www.ustoo.org) that provides prostate cancer education and support. If you click on the "Get Support" at the top of the page you will find online support groups and mentoring. I hope this helps.
