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.

The Ins and Outs of Radical Prostatectomy with Dr. Peter Black
Video by Prostate Cancer Canada (English presentation)
 with Chinese translation handout 中文繙譯大綱


The objective of this presentation is to educate patients, their partners and their loved ones to learn about radical prostatectomy as a treatment option for prostate cancer. We will discuss what the surgery entails and what to expect during the early recovery period. This will include consideration of possible complications of surgery and the need for sexual and bladder rehabilitation after surgery. Finally we will also discuss additional cancer therapies that may be offered after radical prostatectomy and how patients are followed to ensure they remain cancer free.
本演講的目的是教育患者,他們的伴侶和他們的親人,以了解根治性前列腺切除術作為前列腺癌的治療選擇。 我們將討論手術的內容以及在早期恢復期中的期望。 這將包括考慮可能的手術併發症以及術後是否需要進行性和膀胱康復。 最後,我們還將討論根治性前列腺切除術後可能提供的其他癌症治療方法,以及如何隨訪患者以確保他們保持無癌狀態。
