Diary dates | CambsPSA ? Cambridgeshire Prostate Cancer ...

Diary Dates:

We hold regular monthly meetings, usually the FOURTH Thursday of each month, either for social gatherings or when we have a special guest speaker. Anyone is welcome to attend ? there?s no fee or admission charge ? just come along and see if we can help you.

We usually try to arrange to have speakers attend to give a short talk about Prostate Cancer, its treatment and about the hospitals work to support the efforts being made to find better ways of treating it, as well as to discuss fund-raising events. It?s also a useful meeting point where you can learn more about the various treatments available, by talking to patients who are, or who have already gone through it.
