Calling all prostate warriors and their caregivers in Calgary! The schedule for PROSTAID Calgary’s monthly meeting in September has just been announced!

Please RSVP to secure your slot and help us know how many people will be attending. These monthly meetings are ideal places to network, share knowledge and experience of the disease, and provide personal support for each other.
The theme for this month’s meeting is “Prostate Cancer Awareness”, and we will discuss the importance of creating a personalized list of medical information before and after diagnosis. This is so that emergency responders know what drugs to administer or procedures to implement during a medical crisis.
You should work with your caregivers and doctors to make an easy-to-find and understandable list of all health information, including all the medicines that you are currently taking. This can be as simple as a basic list to as comprehensive as a dossier of medical information. The more extensive your list is, the more informed responders and medical professionals will be during an emergency.
This list could save your life. One of the things we always advocate is the proper management of this disease. This list is something all of us need, so if you haven’t made one yet, you definitely should start considering it.
It is also a good idea for this list to contain the exact dates of previous medical visits and checkups, including a basic summary of what occurred during the session.
The speaker for the September meeting is still to be announced. However, all meetings always feature a medical guest speaker or healthcare professional. Guests will have time to ask questions.
While we’d love for you to RSVP, we welcome everyone, including walk-ins! Please join us and learn more about this disease on September 20!
A spokesperson for our group said, "PROSTAID Calgary generally meets once a month for a General Meeting available free of charge to all. We also support specialized meetings every month for Warriors and Wives & Caregivers groups. We would love to see you there."
