Telephone Groups For Men With Advanced Prostate Cancer
Cancer Council Victoria, in partnership with MensLine Australia, offers telephone support groups for men with prostate cancer and their carers.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer found in men. This new initiative is an opportunity for men with prostate cancer and their family to share experiences and coping strategies.
Groups are available for:
- Men with advanced prostate cancer
- Younger men with prostate cancer
- Family and friends of someone with prostate cancer.
Each group will comprise 6-8 people and will be delivered via teleconference. It's just like a normal phone call, except that you're linked up to and will hear from several people. People can participate from the privacy of home or from their workplace.
Groups are professionally facilitated and meet weekly for one hour over six weeks. All information shared is confidential.
If you'd like to be part of one of these groups, or find out more, call 13 11 20 (cost of a local call in Victoria)* or email csg@cancervic.org.au
*If you're an interstate caller and would like to participate, call 03 9635 5000 and ask to be transferred to the Cancer Council Helpline. A cancer nurse will ask for your contact details. When the group is ready to begin, the group facilitator will return your call and link you in to the group.
