Cancer University Welcomes New Member To Advocate Board

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - March 12, 2019 - PRLog -- Cancer University aka Cancer U is honored to have Tom Hulsey, a prostate patient advocate and cancer survivor, on its Patient and Caregiver Advocate Board (PCAB). The PCAB is composed of 11 members who are cancer patient survivors or caregivers. They represent a broad range of cancers including prostate, breast, skin, lung, colon, liver, and more.

Initially, Cancer U was having trouble recruiting men to its PCAB even though men are more likely to get cancer than women in the United States. CEO and Co-Founder Andrea Wilson Woods states, "I wasn't sure if it was an issue of men being less likely to speak up about their experience with cancer. But then I remembered Tom. I know him from the DoD Peer Review Cancer Program. He works tirelessly to raise awareness of prostate cancer. I wanted him to be the face of prostate cancer for Cancer U."

Tom says, "My journey has created a passion in me to help others battle cancer, including those close to cancer victims. I feel fortunate to have a mission to help others, to help them through the battles I survived."
