We Are Here For You!
Our support group includes cancer survivors (warriors), their families, and friends.
Our Mission
Support those in need. Receiving the news that you or a loved one has prostate cancer is traumatizing. Life is suddenly out of control and fear takes hold. Often, feelings of helplessness, guilt, isolation and anger emerge.
No one needs to face prostate cancer alone. Our local chapter, Greater Quad Cities Us Too Prostate Cancer Support Group, provides the forum for sharing, caring and learning through its many programs and services designed for both men with cancer and their loved ones.
