GVCC 2022: Prostate Cancer & Caregiving: It’s a Unique Experience-Sponsored by Bayer

Caring for another person is a huge undertaking. As Prostate Cancer Caregivers, we often have a very involved role and influence in the choices of treatment and shared decision making with little support for the care we provide to our loved ones or understanding for how this impacts our emotional and intimacy needs during and after our loved one’s treatment.

In this session we will discuss how Prostate Cancer Caregivers influence the choices of treatment, shared decision making, support gaps they experience, and emotional/sexual health needs. We will leave this session feeling empowered in our role as caregivers with ideas on how to support ourselves while supporting the ones we love.
