Formation:

The group began in 2002 with about four men and their partners attending a meeting in a building of Ballarat Community Health in Sebastopol. Since then the number attending meetings has fluctuated. Now about ten come to the first Tuesday of the month meeting held from 7 till 9pm at St John of God Hospital central Ballarat.
 
Activities:

The group's activities have predominately concentrated on support. However meetings often include guest speakers from medical practioners who deal with prostate cancer sufferers and allied fields such as nursing, naturopathy and staff of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.

Through PCFA affiliation we have access to up to date written and computer friendlly information about prostate cancer . The books, Cds and DVDs may be borrowed from the group at any time.

Meeting Dates:

Information about meetings or activities can be obtained from Terry Grano on 0407 846 864; Peter Muller on 0417 033 251 or Rod Parsons on 0417 053 216.

Obviously the group consists mainly of men who have prostate cancer but their partners and family are encouraged to attend to catch up with how others cope with the unwanted role of loving and living someone with a terminal illness. Anyone with an interest is invited to attend.
