SUPPORT FOR MEN
IN THE
SCOTTISH BORDERS


Meetings
The Borders Group meets at THE CHAPLAINCY CENTRE, at Borders General Hospital, Melrose on the first WEDNESDAY of every month (except January and August) from 7pm to 9pm.


Meetings are free and we usually have a guest speaker, expert in some form of Prostate Cancer treatment and management, or in a topic of local interest to members.

Meetings also provide patients with an opportunity to chat informally with fellow patients and carers over a cup of coffee.

 


The Borders Group continues to flourish. Over the past few months we have had several new members. Thanks go to Alan McLaren the specialist cancer urology nurse for directing new patients in our direction and to our Committee who work hard to promote awareness of the Group at every given opportunity.

The Group continues to flourish so much so that we have had to consider moving the venue of our meeting from the Macmillan Cancer Centre to the Chaplaincy Centre where there is more space.  However, we would like to thank Macmillan for their kind generosity and help over the past 6 years.  Without their support and encouragement the Group would not be as popular or successful as it is today.
