Alberta-based charity group PROSTAID Calgary (403-455-1916) announces the latest series of prostate cancer support meetings, offering monthly information sessions for those who are affected by the condition, as well as wives and caregivers, and individuals who are interested in the management of advanced disease.
—
Building on over 30 years’ experience offering prostate cancer support in Calgary and surrounding parts of Alberta, PROSTAID Calgary announces its latest monthly meeting schedule, including the regular discussion group for individuals who are themselves affected by the disease, as well as two specialized gatherings, the first catering to ‘Warriors,’ and the second for wives and caregivers.

PROSTAID Calgary explains that its main monthly meetings, for individuals affected by prostate cancer, will continue to feature a medical guest speaker or healthcare professional to help members understand the latest management and treatment approaches. Attendees will also have an opportunity to share their own experiences and ask questions.
“PROSTAID Calgary always meets on the third Wednesday of the month to support those affected by prostate cancer and to deal with health issues and featured topics of discussion,” a charity representative explained. “The meetings require no advance registration, and we never charge anything for attendance, so feel free to come and receive a warm welcome.”
The Canadian Cancer Society estimates that almost 28,000 Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year, representing 22% of all new cancer cases among the male population. Despite those numbers, advances in treatment methods mean that 5-year survival rates are now sitting at over 90%.
PROSTAID Calgary points out that its goal is not to offer medical advice or advocate one treatment method over another, rather to inform and support individuals who are affected by prostate cancer. The charity states that medical advances give great reason for hope, and this is a central objective of the monthly meetings.
