The Prostate Cancer Patient Empowerment Program - PC-PEP - Podcast
Welcome to the "Prostate Cancer - Patient Empowerment Program (PC-PEP) Podcast," where we focus on empowering individuals facing prostate cancer with evidence-based strategies, practical insights, and heartfelt stories. Whether you're newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, or navigating life beyond diagnosis, this podcast is designed to support you and your loved ones every step of the way.
Co-hosted by a scientist specializing in patient-centered interventions and Dr. Rob Rutledge, a prostate cancer oncologist from Nova Scotia, Canada, this podcast offers a blend of research-backed advice, expert guidance, and real stories from those who have walked this path. Together, we dive into the many facets of our PC-PEP program, from stress management and physical fitness to nutrition, intimacy, and building a strong support network. Each episode features inspiring personal journeys, practical tips, and the latest updates to help you live well with prostate cancer.
We believe that a diagnosis doesn't have to define your life. Our mission is to help you feel confident, informed, and in control—empowering you to focus on what truly matters. Join us as we explore the experiences and wisdom of men and their partners, offering insights, a touch of humor, and the encouragement to reclaim your vitality and well-being.
PC-PEP is available for free to anyone worldwide who speaks English. Learn more at PCPEP.org, or explore our cancer empowerment program outside of research at CancerPEP.com. Tune in and become a part of our global community dedicated to thriving beyond prostate cancer.
