Us TOO International is hosting a one hour, FREE nationwide teleconference program on the topic, "Intimacy and Prostate Cancer – Don’t Be Afraid to Talk About It" on Tuesday, October 30th at 9pm Eastern, 8pm Central, 7pm Mountain, 6pm Pacific. 

Just in time for Halloween, make a date with your loved one and join us for this frank, open dialog about this challenging issue, an issue that often strikes fear in the hearts of prostate cancer patients, survivors and their loved ones. Learn about solutions that can bring intimacy back into your relationship. There will be time for questions and answers immediately after the panel presentations.

The FREE program features a medical professional specializing in this area, as well as a couple who has faced prostate cancer AND the challenge of recreating or redefining intimacy and found solutions:

Lawrence S. Hakim, MD, Head, Section of Sexual Dysfunction, Male Infertility and Prosthetics, Cleveland Clinic Florida, Weston, FL. Dr. Hakim, a Board-Certified urologist directs a state of the art, academic center at the Cleveland Clinic Florida, specializing in the diagnosis and all available medical and surgical treatments of sexual dysfunction in men and women, Peyronie's disease and male infertility. Dr. Hakim is the author of the acclaimed book, “The Couple’s Disease: Finding a Cure for your Lost Love Life” and has authored numerous academic abstracts and publications in the peer-reviewed literature and has written a number of textbook chapters in the areas of sexual dysfunction, priapism, penile microsurgical revascularization surgery and male infertility.

 
Jerry and Jo Ann Hardy. Jo Ann serves as the only female member of the Us TOO Board of Directors. Their prostate cancer story is featured in the Us TOO original book, The Circles of Love Collection.
