Guys with young families?

Posted by ringmastr1 @ringmastr1, Jun 7 9:41am

I belong to a Facebook group called Prostate Cancer Warriors. We are a very active group of guys (age 45+) with various stages of prostate cancer. We meet every week via Zoom to discuss our concerns, our treatments, our emotions and our lives. I wanted to know if there was anyone who has a young family on this forum who might be interested in joining us. I am trying to get some younger guys involved in the group to help support each other, and discuss family life with people in similar situations. The group is very supportive and our brotherhood is very strong.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

@ringmastr1, you may wish to reach out to specific members who have stated their age and who qualify in this discussion:
- What is the average age of the gentlemen on here?

The answer may seem obvious, but what do you find is the top concern or topic talked about among men who are dealing with prostate cancer while raising a young family?

One guy I’ve talked to was getting very sad about having stage 4 PC. He has two young children and wants to know how other guys in a similar situation are dealing with it
