Dr Ho SH, prostate support group members and counsellors
The group was formed by Dr Ho with the support of urologists, psychologist, medical social worker and urology nurse counsellors in June 2007 for patients who have been diagnosed of prostate cancer.
Patients with prostate cancer are diagnosed a various stages of the disease and may undergo several treatment options like surgery, radiation, hormonal or radiotherapy. The journey is long and may sometimes be lonely.
Much can be derived and shared between fellow patients who have undergone or are undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.
