OCTOBER MEETING Sun 20 Oct 24
lAthough every effort was made, it is not possible for Dr. Tristan Shaw, local oncologist to be our guest speaker on Monday 28 October. However, there is every likelihood that he will be able to join us in November. Wives, family and friends will be welcomed at that meeting.
Therefore Monday 28 October will be a men only meeting with a difference. I will email out my proposal to those I have email addresses for. If you want to be included either message me your email address or contact me at Villa 466.

Initial Meeting

ENTER GROUP PASSWORD

  THEN  
Initial Meeting Sat 24 Feb 24
We held our first meeting on Friday in the Oasis Lounge where we had 8 men in attendance. The main aim of the meeting was to discuss whether it was worthwhile establishing a prostate cancer support group in our community. It was unanimous that we form the group not only for our own benefit but to promote awareness of prostate cancer and let the men in our community know that they don't have to walk the prostate cancer journey on their own.

We do have some booklets on understanding prostate cancer and the various treatments. We hope to place these in a prominent location in the Seabreeze Clubhouse (main foyer or library) for anyone to access.

We will be looking at affiliating ourselves with the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. Anyone can access their online resources through www.PCFA.org.au
