“Our average attendance at all meetings is between 55 and 60 and this is growing all the time with new men diagnosed every month.”
Men who are currently being treated for the disease and their family members attend meetings to talk about their experiences and listen to guest speakers.
The group is holding its annual stall on Melton Mowbray market on Saturday June 7, when members will be available to give advice to sufferers and their families.
