The West Wales Prostate Cancer Support Group is a patient-led group of volunteers working in West and South West Wales. We offer support to prostate cancer patients and to their families and friends.
OFFERING SUPPORT
We aim to give men the opportunity to talk to other men who have been through the experience of tests, diagnosis and treatment for prostate cancer.
We encourage men with prostate cancer or symptoms of prostate disease to become better informed and able to discuss and make decisions about their treatment.
We encourage all men from age 50 to seek professional advice and request regular tests from their own GP to identify and abnormality of the prostate gland.
We work with other agencies to improve awareness, education, diagnosis therapy and support for men with prostate cancer.
