Group Support
Prostate Cancer Support Toronto offers a number of forms of support. We have 3 different regular group support meetings:
Peer Support Group – This is our bimonthly (1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month) meeting of first timers and long-time attendees and partners/caregivers facilitated by one of our volunteers where issues relating to prostate cancer are discussed. These meetings are on Zoom on the 1st Tuesday of the month and in person on the third Tuesday of the month. Click here for details. Because a diagnosis of prostate cancer can affect the entire family, special peer support and advice is available to partners and caregivers of newly diagnosed men and survivors.
Links to join these meeting will be sent out to our email lists and will also be available on this website by clicking on the scrolling banner above on every page
Toronto Warriors Group – This group meets 6 times per year and is intended for men with advanced prostate cancer (spread outside the prostate gland) and men with issues related to recurring rising PSA. Partners and caregivers are considered members of the Toronto Warriors group; your interest and involvement has made a huge difference.

Individual Support
For those who would prefer a more peer to peer approach, we offer individual support:
We have a telephone Support Line at 416-932-8820. Leave a reasonably detailed message and one of our volunteers will call back as soon as possible. We maintain lists of experiences so that the most appropriate person can return calls. This service is also available via email at info@pcstoronto.ca.
We also visit the local cancer hospitals, both in the clinics and post-op for men who have had surgery. Click here for details.
There is also a new Peer-Navigator program outside of our group from TrueNth. Click here for details.
