Prostate Cancer Support Group - Cancer Backup Jersey :: Support and Help for those affected by Cancer

Prostate Cancer Support Group

The Prostate Cancer Support Group was formed in 2001 by representatives of the leading men’s groups in the island and its aims are to:

Raise awareness of the condition.
Support men with prostate cancer and their families.
Provide a forum where people can comfortably exchange views on matters of common concern, however, nobody needs to speak unless they wish to.

The Support Group meetings are held at The Willows Day Centre, Green Street, St.Helier, from 5.30pm until 7pm, on the second Wednesday of each month. Meetings are open to men diagnosed with Prostate Cancer and their families. A Guest Speaker is usually invited to talk on relevant topics, on alternate months.
