Our Mission
Receiving the news that you or a loved one has prostate cancer is traumatizing. Life is suddenly out of control and fear takes hold. Often, feelings of helplessness, guilt, isolation, and anger emerge. No one needs to face prostate cancer alone. Us TOO provides a forum for sharing, caring, and learning through its many programs and services designed for both men with cancer and their loved ones.
As one of the prostate cancer support and education groups for the South Sound, Us TOO Olympia meets on-line every third Tuesday of the month to listen to medical experts on a variety of topics pertaining to prostate cancer. This is followed by an informal discussion amongst the members. Our goal is to support, educate, and advocate for any person touched by prostate cancer.
About our meetings:
- Family members are encouraged to join us.
- The Us TOO Olympia chapter meetings are free and opened to newly diagnosed patients, patients currently in their treatment regimen, survivors, family members, friends, and healthcare professionals interested in prostate disease.
- Us TOO Olympia's primary objective is to give participants a forum where they may compare experiences, obtain information, and discuss matters of interest relating to prostate cancer.
About
Us Too International
Us TOO International Prostate Cancer Education & Support Network is a 501(c)(3) non-profit prostate cancer education and support network of 325 support group chapters worldwide, providing men and their families with free information, materials and peer-to-peer support so they can make informed choices on detection, treatment options and coping with ongoing survivorship. The organization was founded in 1990 by five men who had been treated for prostate cancer.
The mission of Us TOO is to help men and their families make informed decisions about prostate cancer detection and treatment through support, education and advocacy.
In addition to providing education and support programs, Us TOO is an active advocate for patients. We are committed to making sure patients have access to the programs, medications, treatments and health care professionals they need for the best possible outcomes. A member patient advocacy organization of the National Health Council, Us TOO International has achieved compliance with the Council's Standards of Excellence, maintaining the highest standards of organizational effectiveness and public stewardship.
Just as pink is for breast cancer, blue is for prostate cancer. Us TOO wants to increase prostate cancer awareness and to have people to see more blue, or SEA Blue, with SEA standing for support, educate and advocate – the primary components of Us TOO’s mission.
