Orange County Supervisor Doug Chaffee introduced a resolution proclaiming September as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month at the September Board of Directors meeting. Prostate Forum of Orange County Board members Ira Kaget, Charles Metzger, MD, Neal Berke and Brian McEvoy received the resolution where the work of the Prostate Forum of Orange County was recognized.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer with one out of seven men diagnosed globally. Spreading awareness is crucial because early detection greatly increases the chances of successful treatment and survival. It can save lives and educate community and also provide support for those who are courageously fighting against it.

The Prostate Forum of Orange County Support Group offers support meetings via Zoom for newly diagnosed men every second Tuesday at 5 p.m., Zoom link: us02web.zoom. us/j/86164783897, and for advanced/recurrent group every fourth Tuesday at 5 p.m., Zoom link: us02web.zoom.us/j/85450819246. People can also learn more from the experts about treatment and management of prostate cancer every fourth Thursday of most months at 5 or 7 p.m. via Zoom: us02web. zoom.us/j/85477749453. All meetings are free, and open to anyone affected by prostate cancer including patients, family and friends.
