Welcome to the Cotswolds Prostate Cancer Support Group, a volunteer-led registered charity.
We hope that you will find plenty of information within these pages to help you understand Prostate Cancer (PCa), please be sure to contact us if you are unable to find the information that you are looking for, if you contact us we will make every effort to help answer your questions.
The group was started in 2007, by men from around Cheltenham, Gloucester and The Cotswolds who had been diagnosed with PCa, with the support of the Urology Department of Gloucester and Cheltenham hospitals. Our aim is to raise awarness of PCa and to help men come to terms with the challenges of PCa diagnosis, treatment and be better able to handle the difficult periods when it is often traumatic to talk to people, even those very close to you.
We welcome wives, partners, carers and other family members, who experience just as much the loneliness and uncertainty associated with the disease. We're aware that to be able to share experiences with others "in the same boat" can be very comforting.
