“This can’t be happening to us.” That's what went through Gloria’s mind when she learned her husband had prostate cancer. She was sitting by his side when they got the news, and in many ways, she’s remained there through his entire journey. For nearly 15 years, Gloria has seen Darrell through doctor’s appointments, treatments, and trips to D.C. to advocate for research and funding. Physically and emotionally - she’s his rock. Gloria also admits that with all the ups and downs, navigating the journey can sometimes be challenging. Are you a caregiver like Gloria? If so, we’d love to see you in Chicago for our ZERO+One Caregiver's Retreat on October 26-27. Join us for this in-person gathering designed specifically for you – the caregivers and care partners who selflessly put the needs of others before your own. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ergxJpSn 📅 October 26–27, 2024 📍 Chicago, IL Registration is free. #ZEROProstateCancer #ZEROPlusOne #CaregiverSupport

Our Government Relations team, Alison Manson, Hillel “Hal” B., and Georgia Bates, has been in action in Richmond, VA, this week advocating for HB 477 — a bill that would make PSA tests FREE for male residents of Virginia. The bill was unanimously passed by the Health Insurance Review Commission! We're making a difference in the lives of those at risk for prostate cancer, one legislative step at a time. #ZEROProstateCancer #PatientAdvocacy #Virginia

PARP inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of mCRPC by significantly improving survival in patients with specific DDR mutations. Veterans, who face nearly double the incidence of prostate cancer compared to the general population, often due to carcinogen exposure during their service, depend heavily on the expertise of VA healthcare professionals. Oncology nurses at VA medical centers play a pivotal role in this battle, from navigating complex genomic testing to educating patients on PARP inhibitors and managing TEAEs. Working in multidisciplinary teams, these nurses are at the forefront of delivering personalized cancer care to our veterans. We invite you to join PeerView Live on October 9 at the NCPD-certified symposium at the Nurses Organization of Veterans Affairs (NOVA) 44th Annual Conference, with patient advocacy partner ZERO Prostate Cancer. This event will provide expert guidance on genomic testing recommendations and nurse-led strategies for optimizing the use of PARP inhibitors in veterans with prostate cancer. Enhance your knowledge and contribute to the improved care of those who served. https://lnkd.in/gC4qyxnB #MedEd #PARPi #ProstateCancer #mCRPC #Urology This activity is supported by independent educational grants from AstraZeneca and Merck

Former Good Morning America host, Tony Perkins, is sharing his personal journey with prostate cancer. Tony is now a news anchor at NBC Washington and says he decided to talk about his diagnosis because more men, especially black men who are at highest risk, need to understand the importance of early detection.
News Anchor, NBC4 Washington; Former Radio Personality, MAJIC 102.3, Urban One, Inc; Former Weatherman/Reporter, "Good Morning America"; Event Host/Moderator.
Please see the attached for some important information about prostate cancer. And a big thank you to my colleagues at NBCUniversal (WRC-TV in Washington, DC), at The American Cancer Society, and to all of you for the prayers and support. #BeatCancer

As #ProstateCancerAwarenessMonth comes to a close, we want to thank our allies, Congressman Wesley Hunt for Congress in the House and Senators Cory Booker for Senate and Mike Crapo in the Senate for passing House and Senate resolutions. These efforts officially recognize September as National Prostate Awareness Month and highlight the critical importance of early detection. #ZEROProstateCancer #PCAMResolution #CapitolHill
