Diagnosed with prostate cancer?

Have you recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer?
Are you in the process of exploring your treatment options?
Are you a prostate cancer survivor with issues or concerns?
Are you a spouse or family member looking for information or support?

You are not alone. We would like to help you. We welcome the recently diagnosed, those in the midst of prostate cancer treatment, and any family members seeking information and support.

Our Support Group tries to increase awareness, knowledge and understanding about prostate cancer in the communities we serve. We offer fellowship and guidance through personal experiences. We have made the journey! We can help.

Our Meetings

(Until further notice, Wellspring Birmingham Gilgan house is closed due to Covid-19). All meetings, including ours, are held by Zoom).

Zoom videoconferencing may not be ideal but, at times like these, it allows us to get together, see old friends, listen to guest speakers, and share our successes and our concerns. One definite benefit of group meetings by Zoom is that it breaks down geographical barriers and lets us join in meetings and listen to expert speakers elsewhere in Ontario and across the country. See Support Groups and join our mailing list to see what’s available to you.

 

What If I Don’t Want To Go To a Support Group Meeting?

In this difficult time of shut-downs and physical distancing, support for men with prostate cancer is even more important. Please note that we are always available to help by phone or email. If you have questions, concerns or would just like someone to talk to, please get in touch. This is a challenging time for all and doubly so if you have just been diagnosed or are undergoing treatment for prostate cancer. Thanks to the great network of support groups across Ontario, we can reach out to other groups if necessary to find the right person for you to talk to.

Remember YOU ARE NOT ALONE 

We understand that not all men are comfortable in a group setting and having to speak about their symptoms and side-effects in a room full of other men.

If that’s you (or your loved one), we are happy to arrange one-on-one, confidential discussions with another member who shares, and can understand, your issues with prostate cancer. Please get in touch.
