Us TOO Rochester NY is the regional chapter of ZERO CANCER ~ an independent 501c3 nonprofit organization. No man should have to experience prostate cancer alone nor rely on any single source for unbiased medical information. We are not aligned with any single urology office, medical practice or business. All meetings are FREE, open to the public, and do not require a diagnosis to attend. [Click HERE for 'Zerocancer']
MILITARY VETERANS: Thank you for your military service and want you to know that you can still get additional support from Us TOO! When you attend our meetings you are among those who know what you're going through!
