Session IV:
September 25, 2024
1:00 – 3:30 PM ET
Surviving Prostate Cancer from a Total Body Perspective
Prostate cancer patients are often given dire life expectancies by their medical providers when they are diagnosed, which brings about extreme fear and dread for them and their families. However, we see many patients living longer lives with chronic prostate cancer by using a total-body approach to their care. This session will feature the journey that prostate cancer patients go through, such as exercise, participating in clinical trials, family support and coping strategies.
