ZERO ® – ADVANCED PROSTATE CANCER NEWS
WINTER 2024/2025
CAREGIVER CORNER
Caregivers from around the country gathered in Chicago in October for our first annual ZERO+One Caregiver Retreat. This in-person event brought together 100+ prostate cancer caregivers, speakers, and wellness experts to educate and connect those who understand the unique struggles and triumphs of a cancer journey. Go to the event webpage to view recorded videos of caregiver and expert sessions and to look out for details on the event in November 2025!
Last year, members of A Forum for Her , one of ZERO’s support groups for female caregivers, shared lessons learned caring for their loved ones with advanced prostate cancer. To read advice and helpful tips from these caregivers, see our caregiver blog series at zerocancer.org/blog/forum-her-part-1 .
ZERO’s newest resource is “Care for the Prostate Cancer Caregiver: Tips & Resources.” This quick guide empowers caregivers with information about managing doctor’s visits, communicating with their loved ones, and understanding the importance of self-care.
