Seeking Information and Support
A prostate cancer diagnosis can be confusing for patients and their families, and you may not know where to turn for support. Don’t be afraid to ask your healthcare team any questions you have. They can help you with:
- General information about prostate cancer, how it’s diagnosed, treated and possible side effects
- How you’re feeling emotionally and physically
- Practical concerns like getting to the hospital or financial stress you may be experiencing
Many hospitals and cancer centres have services such as counselling, support groups or patient navigators who can help you through this time. Ask your healthcare team about the services available to you.
