[Hopespringpcsg] TOWN HALL MEETING- ROBOTIC ASSISTED PROSTATE SURGERY

[Glen Tolhurst]

Hi all:

At the last PCCN W-W Steering Group meeting one of our members, who had
Robotic Assisted Surgery done by Dr. Bobby Shayegan @ St. Joseph's Hospital
in Hamilton, went back for a follow up discussion. 

During the discussion, the doctor mentioned there is a "Town Hall" type
meeting planned with someone from the MoH & LTC regarding Robotic Assisted
Surgery.

The press may be there.

Our member reminded the doctor that he along with other PCCN W-W members had
appeared in an article in the Hamilton Spectator.

Though the date, time, & venue are unknown at this time, it would be an
opportunity to pack the meeting with PCa survivors (robotic & otherwise) &
supporters wearing the Black Tie T-shirts to send a clear message to the MoH
& LTC about the need to fully fund robotic assisted PCa surgery.

I'll keep you posted as this develops and I hear more about it.

 

Take care,

 

Glen
