Prostate Cancer Support

While undergoing treatment, every prostate cancer patient is paired with a specialized patient navigator for guidance every step of the way. For additional assistance, we offer access to a variety of support groups, and programs. Based on our extensive support systems, we are the proud recipients of a grant from To Celebrate Life Breast Cancer Foundation.

Support groups are free. Registration is encouraged. Unless otherwise noted, all support groups meet at our Health Resource Center.

Support Services for Spouses and Families of Prostate Cancer Patients

Spouses and adult family members are invited to attend the following patient activities:

• Medical appointments
• Afternoon conference, where treatment options are discussed with the interdisciplinary medical team and treatment plan decisions are made—we particularly encourage participation in this conference
• Individual patient education sessions
• Group patient education (e.g., nutrition classes and cooking demonstrations)
• Prostate Cancer Support Group

Family Involvement in Patient Support

Spouses and other family members can play an important role in helping the prostate cancer patient cope with the disease and make treatment decisions. By educating themselves about our prostate cancer program, meeting the patient's care team, and learning more about the disease itself, loved ones can ease their own concerns and better focus on helping the patient recover.
