Most meetings are 'interactive' with a mix of old hands and new people sharing their stories. You can expect open discussion where men and partners share experiences of dealing with the impact of cancer on their lives. You may acquire practical information and perhaps find out what questions to ask your Medical Practitioner or where to source information or help that is needed. Regularly, schedule meetings will incorporate a more formal presentation by qualified speakers. Literature, Tapes, Videos and earlier newsletters are available at meetings. Although most people have some concerns or even apprehension about attending a Prostate Awareness Group meeting for the first time, the comment most often heard after the first meeting is "I can't believe that the hours have gone by, and that I'm feeling so good, less stressed, unlike when I arrived". Feeling "better" might be just be because you are not alone. Newly diagnosed, their partners, family members and anyone from the community who are interested in acquiring information about prostate cancer are all welcome.
