Stamford Prostate Support Group
Stamford Prostate Cancer Support was started by three couples whose lives have been impacted by prostate cancer. We met each other in 2024 in the Stamford & Rutland Cancer Support Group, and decided we wanted to form our own spin-off group for guys who've had prostate cancer.
The Stamford Prostate Cancer Support group is open to all men and their partners. Our mission is to help men with a prostate cancer diagnosis before, during, and after treatment.
We meet once a month for a chat, a cup of tea, and sometimes a talk from a guest speaker, such as a health professional.
If you know someone who has been affected by prostate cancer and is struggling, tell them about this group. The group is open to partners, families, and friends as well as those with a prostate cancer diagnosis and we meet at 6.30pm on the third Wednesday of the month at Stamford Rugby Club.
