When he was diagnosed
with prostate cancer in
2005, Bill Prastka felt he
had nowhere to turn.
"There was no one to
talk to, I was truly a lone
ranger out there," he said.
Today, Prastka is a
member of a local chapter
of Us Too, a prostate can-
cer education and support
group that has 325 chap-
ters throughout the United
States.
That group plans to host
the first Pours for Pros-
tates wine tasting and
fundraiser from 1 - 8 p.m.
on Saturday at Olympic
Bakery and Deli at 591 E.
Pickering Road.
The event is intended
to raise awareness about
prostate cancer and raise
money for the local support
group.
The event will feature
wines from Hoodsport Win-
ery, Mosquito Fleet Winery,
Trillium Creek Winery and
Westport Winery. Olympic
Mountain Ice Cream will
be available and there will
be a classic car display and
a silent auction at 6 p.m.
Also, prostate can-
cer specialists Dr. James
Porter from the Swedish
Urology Group, Dr. Bruce
Montgomery from the
University of Washington

Dr. R. Alex Hsi from Penin-
sula Prostate Institute and
prostate cancer survivors
and other health care pro-
fessionals will be on hand
to answer questions from 1
- 4 p.m. at the event.
While his treatment
went well and doctors re-
moved the cancer. Prastka
felt he needed to connect
with other prostate cancer
survivors.
"Guys, we don't talk," he
said. "You can't handle it.
you don't know what to do
about it. It gets you on an
"Guys, we don't talko
You can't handle it, you
don't know what to do
about it. it gets you on an
emotional [eve[ .o."
emotional level or a sub-
conscious level where you
can't deal with it rational-
ly."
Not long after his treat-
ment was successful, he
decided to participate in
Relay for Life.
"That was kind of the
only cancer game in town
that I knew o£ so I showed
up there one year and fig-
ured out what the Relay
was all about and walked a
survivors lap," he said.
The next year he went
back with three other pros-
tare cancer survivors, and
the year after that they
had an entire team.
According to informa-
tion from Us Too. prostate
cancer was responsible
for 33.700 deaths in the
United States in 2011. In
Washington, prostate can-
cer claimed 790 men's lives
in 2011.
Prastka said the reali-
ties of the disease can be
hard to deal with alone.
"Based on what little I
know, you don't ever cure
prostate cancer. You can
knock it down, you might
remove the main source
but there are always cell
remnants. It can pop up
again, jus~ like an enemy,"
he said. "You're on this
cancer battlefield, do you
want ~o be out thereby
yourself?. We've got ~o get
connected."
After the group of sur-
wvors got together to form
the Relay for Life team,
they discovered Us Too, and
thought it was a good fit for
the kind of support group
they were looking for.
"It's particular to pros-
tate cancer and the male
mindset and what to do
about it," Prastka.
Us Too keeps its mem-
bers and local chapters up
to date on advancements
in treatments for prostate
cancer, and educates them
about the disease.
Prastka said everyone
drifts into a support group
like Us Too in their own
way, ,but he encouraged
anyone curious about the
organization to attend the
Pours for Prostates event.
