Welcome to Prospect – a support group for prostate cancer patients, their wives, partners and carers. Prospect is run by prostate cancer survivors for the benefit of the local community. Prospect is a friendly and supportive network that aims to: • Support men who suspect they may have prostate cancer or who have been diagnosed and feel that they need more information or support to decide on the best way forward. • Provide a local informal meeting-place for prostate cancer patients, where personal experiences of treatments can be exchanged. • Keep patients in touch with medical professionals and up-to-date knowledge of medical developments and local arrangements for treatment. • Champion the cause of prostate cancer patients and encourage all men over 50 to receive an annual PSA check. • Raise awareness of prostate cancer. We have found that knowledge is of great benefit to the patient. It enables him to play an active part in the decision-making process, for example in selecting the best treatment.
