About
The group was started by men who, at various ages have been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Some are undergoing treatment while some have completed their treatment.
The group was formed to help men come to terms with the challenge of the diagnosis, and be better able to handle the difficult periods when it is often traumatic to talk to people, even those very close to you.
As a group we welcome wives, partners and carers, who experience just as much the loneliness and uncertainty associated with the disease. We believe that to be able to share experiences with others "in the same boat" is both comforting and therapeutic.
Opening times
Our meetings are held in The Maggie's Centre in Cheltenham on the second Monday of the month.

Further information
Prostate Cancer Partners.We welcome the formation of a separate but very connected group of Partners / Wives, the Prostate Cancer Partners.This group has been formed by the wives and partners of members of the Cotswolds Prostate Cancer Support Group. They continue to be made most welcome at the main meetings and have indeed been treated as ‘Partners’ in the process of dealing with Prostate Cancer. Feedback from the main group has been that partners often see a problem from a different perspective, which can be hugely beneficial to everyone.They meet once a month on a Wednesday, nine days after the main CPCSG meeting. Meetings are held at The Oakwood, Gloucester Tewkesbury Road, Twigworth, nr Gloucester, GL2 9PG and last from 7:00 to about 9:00pm.
