Support for Partners

Has your partner been diagnosed with prostate cancer?

Would you like to talk to someone who has been in a similar situation?

Prostate Cancer is often referred to as a couple's condition and we recognise the huge impact this condition can have on partners.

Who We Are

We are partners of men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and are finding a way to support, and live with, the impact this has on us all.

What We Offer

• Friendship
• Support
• Someone who will listen to you
• Regular support meetings and talks by specialists in Prostate Cancer.

We are not a medical information, advice, or professional counselling service, but what we can share our own experiences and provide mutual support.

If you would like to find out more about the OPCSG Partner Support Group, please email partnersupport@oxmen.org to arrange a chat. We would love to hear from you.
