Prostate Cancer Support Groups
Support groups provide people impacted by prostate cancer with an opportunity to be with others who have a common purpose. While every prostate cancer diagnosis is unique, members of support groups often have similar feelings, worries, and concerns.
Finding a support group may benefit you or your loved one in many ways, including:
- Feeling less lonely or isolated
- Improving understanding of prostate cancer treatment and side effects
- Getting practical feedback about treatment options
- Talking openly and honestly about your feelings
- Improving skills to cope with challenges
- Reducing distress, depression, anxiety or fatigue
- Gaining a sense of empowerment
- Learning about education, financial assistance, and other resources
