Hi Ben,

I am someone who has lost my mother, grandmother and an aunt to breast cancer, plus losing my  mother in law and a sister in law to other cancers. Plus my father who lives in Canada has prostate cancer and also my brother in law has the same.. I have also had and recovered from prostate cancer so when I saw the title of your post I homed in on it.

Yes It has at times been a very sad journey for seeing someone you love suffering from this evil disease is so hard and make us feel so helpless. But when I had my cancer, I was given a booklet and in it was a section asking for people to join a cancer committee. I would never have joined a group like this before but I am now a member of three charities plus I joined this forum over three years ago. I suppose it's my way of fighting back against cancer and all I can say is it has helped me cope. So many families are affected by cancer so charities need all the help they can get. Hope this helps and please keep in contact , Brian.
