locating PRDA in USA unsuccessfully

[USAPRDA]

I am so grateful to have stumbled on this site while surfing pelvic radiation adverse effects on gut bacteria and weight gain. I had chemo/ pelvic radiation in 2013 and the side effects have been a roller coast ride. I have not been able to find any support in USA and I am a PhD in epidemiology from an ivy league university! Any pointers on local support groups welcome. My encounters with my MDs have demonstrated a pervasive ignorance and general dismissive attitude. I so often hear how women are subject to age-related changes......not PRD. Thank you to those who organized this online community. I hope to find some community solutions to PRD effects that seem to pop up after 10 or 20 years. Best wishes to all for 2023! This is a great research group.

USPRDA I'm also in the US, and so happy to have found this website. I do believe in being my own advocate, but feel I could've been in a much better place a long time ago with more information. I appreciate all the people from this community, and the candid experiences they share!
