Feedback from members of the Southport & West Lancs Prostate Cancer Support Group has included the following comments:

• This is a brilliant idea to be able to meet others in the same boat and share experiences
• Having guest speakers is a must! Learned a lot at this meeting. Well done!
• I think this support group is a wonderful idea.
• Speakers are very interesting and keep us updated on treatments etc. Also we can ask questions on things that might be troubling us. Would be a good idea for new patients being diagnosed to come to the meetings to see what and how people have coped. We found when having treatment it was good to hear other people's comments.

• Very good informative talks on treatment of prostate cancer, including various different radiotherapy techniques.

• This is a super idea. To be able to discuss the problem with others with the same problems.

• I think peer support would be very good, newly diagnosed patients have many worries and concerrns. These could be answered by men who have already gone through treatment.
