LGBTQ Prostate Cancer Support
Support with prostate cancer
Everyone with prostate cancer is different and each of us has different support needs, and this can change over time. Friends and family of LGBT men with prostate cancer can provide valuable support, but you can also ask for information and support from your local hospital or healthcare provider. You might find the following links to charities and support groups useful. We also include information on the small number of groups that specifically cater for LGBT people with prostate cancer, and their partners and carers.
