ABOUT US TOO New YorkUS TOO New York is an independent support group for men with prostate cancer and their families. US TOO New York offers fellowship, peer counseling, education about treatment options, and discussion of medical alternatives without bias. One of our goals is to foster public awareness of prostate disease. US TOO New York is a grassroots, self-help organization created and administered by prostate cancer survivors. Our activities demonstrate care, concern, acceptance and understanding while acknowledging the special needs of prostate cancer patients. A number of treatment options exist for prostate cancer, each of which carries some risks and benefits. Potential physical, psychological and emotional side effects after treatment can be devastating if not addressed. US TOO New York meetings provide a forum for medical experts to inform group members about treatment options, after treatment counseling and an opportunity for questions and answers as well as discussion with these experts. By being well informed, men can, along with their doctors, make choices about their treatment with confidence.
US TOO New York meetings also provide tremendous support and reinforcement through peer discussion groups, where members share issues, opinions, and experiences. Family members are encouraged to attend and can also benefit from support and sharing at these group meetings
US TOO New York is a chapter of US TOO!, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in 1990 by and for prostate cancer survivors, their families, and men at risk.
