Penile cancer support group
UCLH hosts the UK’s first dedicated support group for people affected by penile and urethral cancer. Our clinical nurse specialists started it in 2012.
The group meets on the first Tuesday of each month (except January and August) from 12pm to 2pm. You can attend in-person, at the UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre, or online, on Zoom.
Sessions combine educational talks and supportive discussion. They are open to all men at any stage of their care. At least once a year we invite partners to attend the support group too.
Please contact CNS Sadie Molloy if you have any questions about the group.
Telephone: 07852219921
