PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT
OAKVILLE MISSISSAUGA
proudly serving the communities of Oakville, Milton, Mississauga and surrounding areas in the Greater Toronto Area in Ontario
HOW WE CAN HELP
Diagnosed with prostate cancer? Exploring your treatment options? Looking for information or support?
You are not alone. We would like to help you. We welcome the recently diagnosed, those in the midst of prostate cancer treatment, and any family members seeking information and support.
We offer fellowship and guidance through personal experiences. We have made the journey. We can help.
And through our affiliation with Prostate Cancer Foundation Canada, we provide access to prostate cancer information, resources, support groups, webinars, and more.
LOCAL 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 treatment.
We provide fellowship, understanding and hope to prostate cancer patients and their families through open honest discussion and sharing in a group setting, or one-on-one support as appropriate.
We provide a forum for medical experts and other healthcare professionals to inform us about treatment options, new developments and recommended lifestyle activities to enhance recovery and quality of life.
Prostate Cancer Support Oakville Mississauga invites you to join their meetings the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 7:00 pm.
Meetings are held at Wellspring Birmingham Gilgan House at 2545 Sixth Line, Oakville.
