Please note that the monthly Partners meeting is postponed until the New Year, when we can hopefully find a regular meeting place.
Welcome to the Cotswolds Prostate Cancer Support Group, a volunteer-led registered charity.
We hope that you will find information on these pages to help you, but please remember that if what you need isn't here, contact us and we will make every effort to help.
The group was started in 2007, by men who had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, with the support of the Urology Department of Gloucester and Cheltenham hospitals, to help men come to terms with the challenge of the diagnosis, 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.
