Canada has over 60 Prostate Cancer Support Groups that meet once a month. This Richmond group in British Columbia is founded in 2013 by volunteers and focused on providing help to Chinese-speaking men, but everyone is welcome. We speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin, meet on the second Thursday of every month from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the Seniors Centre of Minoru Centre for Active Living (7191 Granville Avenue, Richmond, BC V6Y 1N9 Multipurpose Room 1 (1033)). Join us for the professional presentation and talk to other men and family members who have been dealing with prostate cancer for weeks, months or even years.

No registration is required and all ages are welcome. Please swipe your Facility Pass ($36/year for seniors 55+ or spouses) or pay a $5 drop-in fee at the front desk when arriving for each session.

九月是前列腺癌關注月,希望藉各界媒體的宣傳教育與國民的参與,譲大眾認識這影響男仕的疾病。惡性的前列腺癌令八份之一的加拿大男仕們在中年發病,不但影響工作和夫妻生活,甚至喪失生命,近年由於抽血篩檢及大腸指檢的普及,前列腺癌的確診已漸漸年輕化。醫療研究及國民關注亦令到患病者存活率大大提高。良性的前列腺肥大與前列腺炎雖然沒有生命危險,但尿頻,小便刺痛,血尿,夜尿或失禁等病徵,足以影響男仕與家人的生活質素。
