Our support groups give people affected by prostate cancer the space to talk

"The support group overwhelmingly provides the support, education, and advice that is totally absent from hospital and a CNS."
Bilaal, 64
"The group is so important because any new members joining will be able to see all aspects of treatment we have had and ask any questions to us."
Steve, 58
“Being in a room with positive people who share their experience uplifts me; I come away from the meeting feeling happy and more knowledgeable about my condition.”
Dwight, 65
“I was reluctant to join the group initially for fear of being dragged down by people talking about dying. However, once I joined the group I realised that it was full of people willing to share their experiences and enhance my knowledge of the disease.”
Mick, 71

We get it. Walking into a group for the first time isn’t easy. That’s normal. To make it easier:

  • Get in touch with organiser and ask them what to expect. A lot of the groups offer 1-1 phone calls.
  • Bring someone with you.
  • Start by listening – you don’t need to talk straight away.

Once you find the right group, something shifts:

  • You’re not alone.
  • You gain confidence and clarity.
  • You learn from others who’ve been there.
  • You feel stronger facing what’s ahead.
