Video Library:
Videos on Prostate Cancer
The Fullerton Prostate Forum has a large video library on prostate cancer and related subjects. We have selected the best of these and make them available to support groups and individuals who need them. These videos were made by Lew Pfeffer, a 15 year survivor and currently the Chairman of the Fullerton Prostate Forum.
It should be noted that these videos were made using a digital video camera and are available on DVD. They are not studio quality, but we believe they contain a lot of valuable information that is not readily available to most prostate cancer patients. Consider using one of these videos as the program for a prostate cancer support group meeting.
A list of these videos is now available on our web site at: www.prostateforum.org. Just click on “videos”.
