ADT Seminar-Learning to Cope with Testosterone Deprivation–Begins Soon

October 8, 2020 By Norm Dooley

If you are considering undergoing Androgen Deprivation Therapy or have committed to having it, then you will want to attend this short online seminar created by Vancouver PSA Group member Dr. Richard Wassersug.  ADT is an effective therapy, however it comes, like all cancer treatments, with side-effects that you need to be aware of. In 2020 we published research data showing that the ADT Educational Program—i.e, the 90 min. class plus the book—can significantly raise patients’ self-efficacy in managing ADT side effects. However, it is most effective if taken early, before patients start to experience those effects.

The next workshops in 2021 are scheduled for:
-March 15th
-April 15th.
All start at 3:00 PM, Pacific time/6:00 PM, Eastern time.

The online ADT Educational Program is a free resource to help patients manage ADT side effects and engage in healthy lifestyle behaviours (. The program provides support to both prostate cancer patients and their partners or loved ones.

Patients can self-register at www.LifeOnADT.com or phone our office. Each webinar is live and facilitated (90 min.). After attending, Canadian patients are mailed a free copy of our ADT book.

Questions can be directed to Carly Sears at LifeOnADT@gmail.com.  

Kind Regards,

Carly,  Project Coordinator
