As well as getting medical help to treat your prostate cancer most men find it helps to get some emotional support as well.

Talking to a partner, friend or relative about how you are feeling may help them to support you and help you cope better. Sharing concerns can make any decisions about your treatment easier to deal with.

You may also find it helps to talk to your doctor or a specialist cancer nurse at your treatment centre or a Macmillan nurse. Many of these nurses are trained in counselling and can help you work through some of your concerns. If you do not already have contact with one of these nurses you can ask your GP to refer you to their services.

If you would like to speak to another man who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, The Prostate Cancer Charity can put you in touch with someone through our peer support service. Call our confidential Helpline to find out more about this service.
