Sheffield Prostate Cancer Support Group
The support of the group extends to anyone with experience of Prostate Cancer. It is primarily for black men and their families.
The group members will share their experiences through peer-to-peer discussions and group sessions. These will be held in good faith with utmost discretion.
The aim is to support men from diagnosis, to ensure they are well informed when making treatment decisions whilst providing a human connection to help you deal with any concern.
Screening:
We aim to highlight the importance for men of Black heritage to 'get tested' early. This is due to the inherent risk of getting Prostate Cancer at an early age, black men are eligible from the age of 45 to request a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test at their GP surgery.
If there is any family history of cancer (including breast and cervical cancer in female relatives), men should seek screening at the age of 40, as their risk is further increased.
