8 - 12 September 2011 -Prostate Cancer Research Institute Conference- Los Angeles

Barb and I flew from Moncton to Los Angeles to attend the Prostate Cancer Research Institute conference.  The conference was a very positive experience, lots of expert speakers talking at our level and plenty of resources.  I attended twelve sessions in two days, plus three small support group sessions on active surveillance.  We both learned a lot, met many interesting people.  There were about 800 in attendance, mostly from the US, but we did meet other Canadians, and some from beyond.  Dr. Laurence Klotz was recognized as the international authority on active surveillance.
