A group for men with prostate cancer, who live in the West Essex Primary Care Trust area including Bishop's Stortford, Broxbourne, Epping, Harlow, Loughton, Ongar and the surrounding areas.
ProActive is a self help group for prostate cancer patients, run by and for its members, to offer support and encouragement to patients and their families, and to exchange information and experiences. While we have the active support of local health professionals, ProActive is independent of West Essex Primary Care Trust , St Margaret's and Princess Alexandra's Hospitals
We have members across the PCT area from Bishop's Stortford to Loughton, and Ongar to Broxbourne including Harlow and Epping.
You and your partner are welcome to come to our meetings, where you can find ideas and tips on life after prostate cancer, and most of all, meet men (and their partners) who have been through the same problems and who still have an active life after prostate cancer. Our meetings are very informal - we meet and chat, but when possible, we have a speaker who can talk about an aspect of prostate cancer, including the effects on the individual and his family.
