Cornwall Prostate Support Association (CPSA)

Are you affected by prostate cancer?
Are you feeling anxious or scared?

You Are Not Alone

Come and join us at our friendly monthly meetings

What are our aims?

To raise general public awareness of prostate cancer

To provide educational literature and information about prostate cancer

To promote PSA testing and to destigmatise any embarrassment associated with having prostate cancer

What happens at our meetings?

When you attend a Cornwall Prostate Support Association monthly meeting, you are no longer facing your cancer journey alone. We are here as a listening ear and can offer support to you, your loved ones and friends

We are a group of men who have prostate cancer and are undergoing treatment or have completed a course of treatment. We understand the fears and emotions associated with a prostate cancer diagnosis

Whilst at our monthly meetings, you will have the opportunity to share your experiences with the group or you can simply sit and listen. We offer support to you in a secure and friendly environment

Periodically, we have talks and presentations by relevant medical professionals as well as talks on wellbeing, complementary therapies, keeping fit, eating well and occasionally, even a talk from a member of the group
