Prostate Cancer UK
Prostate Cancer UK is a UK Charity. Its top priority is funding research to stop prostate cancer killing men. It invests millions to find better treatments and better tests that can spot fast-growing cancers early, and could be used in a screening programme to save thousands of lives. Prostate Cancer UK also provides fantastic support for patients in the form of access to their specialist nurses, lots of information leaflets (available online or posted to you), and a variety of other support services.

Other Support Groups
There are other support groups which might also be of interest to some members.
Metro Walnut, a support group for LGBTQ+ prostate cancer patients and their partners. The group currently meets twice a month, once on Zoom, and once in-person in London. Out With Prostate Cancer is a similar group based in Manchester which has hybrid monthly Zoom meetings, and also welcomes straight men.
National Prostate Cancer Partners Support Group is a group for partners of patients only (and not the patients themselves). Partners need support too in coping with prostate cancer in their family, which is different from that required by prostate cancer patients. The group meets quarterly on Zoom.
Prostate Cancer UK Online Community is an online forum for posting questions and making comments. Although almost entirely patients, the quality and accuracy of information in this community tends to be good, but remember these are not clinicians.
