GBTQ PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT
proudly serving members of the gay, bisexual, trans, and queer community who are affected by prostate cancer anywhere in Canada
HOW WE CAN HELP
Recently diagnosed with prostate cancer? Want to connect with others on this journey?
You're in the right place. The GBTQ Prostate Cancer Support Group provides prostate cancer support in one-on-one and group settings.
And through our affiliation with Prostate Cancer Foundation Canada, we provide access to prostate cancer information, resources, support groups across the country, webinars, and more.
OUR SUPPORT GROUP
Support groups bring together people who are going through, or have already gone through, the experience of being diagnosed with prostate cancer, navigating treatment options, and managing the side effects that may accompany the chosen treatment.
They provide an opportunity for individuals, and their support people or partners, to share their personal experiences and thoughts and to receive emotional support from others in the group.
​
The GBTQ Prostate Cancer Support Group invites you to join their online meetings on the 4th Wednesday of each month at 3:00 pm Pacific/6:00 pm Eastern.
