Prostate Cancer Support Groups in WA

Whether you are facing a new diagnosis, dealing with the diagnosis of a loved one, or worried about side effects, reoccurrence or progression, you are not alone.

Support groups help raise awareness of prostate cancer in their local communities. Many groups invite guest speakers such as nurses, doctors, nutritionists, social workers, physiotherapists and psychologists to provide people with more information.

Prostate cancer patients and their families might experience a variety of emotions during the treatment process while others might not know how to manage their pain or other symptoms. Fortunately, prostate cancer support groups help patients feel a sense of belonging and community throughout their prostate cancer journey.

PCaHELP can help you find a support group. You can choose to attend one closest to you, or one with specific topics/events of interest, or one that caters to your special needs.
