Prostate Cancer Support Group - Us TOO Greater Quad Cities

11/28/2025

The final 2025 meeting of the Zero/UsTOO Prostate Cancer Support Group was Thursday, the 20th of November. The next meeting of the group will be Thursday, the 19th of March 2026 at 6 PM in Gilda's clubhouse, at the 7th Street Moline Campus of Unity Point.

On Thursday, our speaker was Dr Kresowik from Urological Associates. Back by popular demand, we had a year end pot luck with the group, and although it was small, we had several tasty options to share, and it was enjoyed by all.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season.
