We are pleased to co-facilitate a number of support groups for male cancer. If you would like to find out more about these groups, please see the details below.
A diagnosis of prostate, penile or testicular cancer can affect different people in different ways. Lots of people find that meeting others living with the same disease and talking about it in a safe environment can really help them on their cancer journey.
Specifically for prostate cancer.
Please contact ali.orhan@orchid-cancer.org.uk for more information.
This support group is open to all men affected by prostate, testicular or penile cancer.
Location: St Joseph’s Hospice, Mare Street, London E8 4RT or virtually.
