WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE

On July 1, 2010 the name of our support group changed to PCCN - Toronto (Prostate Cancer Canada Network - Toronto) as part of our agreement with Prostate Cancer Canada, the national foundation dedicated to the elimination of prostate cancer, and we have adopted their “tie” logo. We will still continue to educate and support newly-diagnosed men and their families and raise the awareness level of prostate cancer throughout the Greater Toronto Area.

This website is a work in progress and we gladly welcome your suggestions to make it even better. Please email: ourwebsite@pccntoronto.ca

Prostate Cancer Canada Network - Toronto, formerly known as The Toronto Man to Man Prostate Cancer Support Group, is a volunteer based, non-profit prostate cancer support group, run by prostate cancer survivors who help other men diagnosed with this disease.
We help by:
  • Raising the level of prostate cancer awareness
  • Educating men who have been diagnosed
  • Providing support to them and their families
Our message is very simple: see your doctor on a regular basis as early detection is very important when dealing with prostate cancer. Building a partnership with your family doctor and specialist is essential.
