In addition to leading the PCCN Oakville/Mississauga chapter, Walter is a valued member of PCCN Brampton.
He is an extremely knowledgeable gentleman with a unique talent for sharing his knowledge and experience with others.
Paul Henshall, Karl Leutner and I have all attended some of the Oakville/ Mississauga meetings at the beautiful Wellspring Birmingham Gilgan House and enjoyed ourselves immensely.
Their November 20th meeting features Dr. Joelle Helou, a radiation oncologist at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre who has spoken to our group in the past.
Walter describes his session, “A Layman’s Guide to Androgen Deprivation Therapy” as follows:
- What is it and how does it work?
- Uses for ADT in Prostate Cancer
- The stages of Advanced PC
- Second Generation ADT
- What’s new in ADT treatments
This presentation concerns EVERY man and his supporters, even if the man has already undergone treatment for prostate cancer. ADT is not used just for newly-diagnosed patients, but may be recommended for men suffering from a recurrence of their prostate cancer. Knowledge is power!
