Prostate Cancer Foundation of Chicago to host Informational Support Group and Fundraiser April 4 in Westmont
If you have recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer, chances are you will want to know all your treatment options. Prostate Cancer Foundation of Chicago provides a friendly place to ask professionals specific questions about diagnosis and treatment -and a place to gain valuable insight from men like you who are at different points along the prostate cancer journey.
Informational Support Group
The foundation works hand-in-hand with Chicago Prostate Cancer Center to support prostate cancer awareness, prevention, public education, and clinical research with a focus on quality of life. Through free monthly Informational Support Group meetings - hosted by Foundation and Center directors - men and their loved ones are empowered with a better understanding of prostate cancer and its treatment options.
Special Guest Jonny Imerman
The next Informational Support Group meeting will be at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 4, at the Center, 815 Pasquinelli Dr., Westmont. Hear special guest Jonny Imerman, founder of Imerman Angels, an organization created on the belief that no one should have to face cancer alone. Diagnosed with testicular cancer at age 26, Jonny was lucky enough to have loving support from his family and friends, but never met anyone his age who was a cancer survivor. Imerman Angels connects cancer fighters, survivors and caregivers for all cancers, all around the world. Seating is limited; call (630) 654-2515 to RSVP.
