IPCSG Meetings postponed
Due to COVID-19, IPCSG in-person meeting have been postponed. At this time we do not know when we will resume our normal meeting schedule at the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute auditorium.

PROSTATE CANCER? WE CAN HELP!
Researching on your own can be overwhelming
Let us help. We've been there and we're here to help you.
Our group is comprised of men and women, survivors, newly diagnosed, and people who want more information about Prostate Cancer and options for treating this disease.
Our meetings feature expert speakers that bring us the most current information on research, prevention, and treatment. We have been fortunate to have heard from some of the world’s leading doctors and researchers.
Because of the Covid-19 pandemic there are no in-person meetings until further notice so our monthly meetings are now live-streamed.
If you need to speak to someone that knows what you’re going through, you can speak with Gene 619-890-8447 or Lyle 619-892-3888. They know what you’re going through and can help you understand your options
