With regret, we must announce that we will cease production and posting of our PCSO newsletter The Walnut. It has not been possible to engage a full-time volunteer editor for this key element of communicating with our membership and visitors to our website. Many thanks to our devoted Walnut readers over the years.
We also extend our sincere gratitude to PCSO Board member Chuck Graham for producing the year-end editions of The Walnut for 2022 and 2023. It’s a complex, time-consuming task which Chuck assumed on top of his own busy schedule, to produce excellent collections of articles and stories of PCSO activities.
Walnut issues typically contain.
- Recaps of PCSO meetings and events
- Announcements about upcoming meetings and events
- Health and nutrition news
- Survivor stories
- Updates on new, innovative prostate and recurrent cancer treatment
- Research and diagnostics
- Photos, funny moments…and anything else we can come up with!

Year-end 2022 
What another year it’s been! But we made it.
And our organization thrived, grew and changed.
Year-end 2021
What a year it’s been! But we made it.
And our organization thrived, grew and changed.
The Walnut, Winter 2021
The best thing that might be said about 2020 is that it’s over. Vaccines for a virus we had barely even heard of a year ago are now approved and being administered to Canadians.
In this issue, we will bring you the latest information about the leading vaccines and how they might affect you, whether you are a current or a former prostate cancer patient. There’s a lot to absorb, and I hope I have separated the wheat from the chaff.
The Walnut, Fall 2020
The Walnut does not regularly publish in the summer and the pandemic caused disruption on PCCNO’s regular meetings and AGM. In the meantime there was a change at the national level with the Prostate Cancer Canada Network’s amalgamation with the Canadian Cancer Society. In this issue, you will receive important information about how this change affects us at the local level.
We thank you for your continued support!
