We offer:
   
information to raise the low levels of public awareness of prostate cancer
   
comfort and support to men and their families who are affected by prostate problems 
 

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer affecting the UK male population; one in eight men will get it.

Each year, over 40,000 men in the UK are diagnosed with prostate cancer. About 10,500 die of it.​

​

The number of men diagnosed is increasing, but public awareness of the condition is low. Early diagnosis is vital to ensure the best and most effective treatment.​​

Black men have a three times higher risk of getting prostate cancer than white men of the same age, but the risk for Asian and Chinese men is lower.

Just been diagnosed? Worried about high PSA readings?

    

If you have just been diagnosed with prostate cancer you and your family might feel scared, worried or stressed. We are here to support you. 

You can call us for a friendly chat on 01908 110763. You will also find information on this website - see the buttons above. Come to our regular meetings; you will almost certainly find people there who have experienced what you are going through now.

     

Our meetings provide mutual support and will give you, your family and friends a better understanding of your condition.

Prostate Cancer UK have an excellent section on their website that you might find useful. Click this link to access it:

Above all, remember that prostate cancer is always treatable and it is almost always curable if it is diagnosed early enough. 

Do you need special advice?

If so, you may be interested in special Zoom meetings that are available on the website of Tackle, the Federation of Prostate Cancer Support Groups. Click here for a list of of upcoming meetings.

For instance:

  • do you need information or advice as a partner of a prostate patient?

  • are you a Brachytherapy patient?

  • do you have particular problems because you are of working age?

  • would you like help on living well with Advanced Prostate Cancer?

Temporarily lacking both a Chairman and a Secretary, we need extra help to ensure that we can continue our work and even expand our service to the community. Please contact us if you are able to help in any way, even if only to help with administration tasks.
