The FOPS (Friends of Prostate Sufferers) is a prostate cancer support group based in Chorleywood, Hertfordshire.
Established in 2009 we are a friendly group who have experienced most of the various Prostate cancer treatments that combat both Prostate Cancer and BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia).

Our group are able to speak to you to share their experiences and answer questions you may have in a relaxed environment. We also have a fantastic team of two eminent Urologists, and a local GP who attend our monthly support group meetings. 

The FOPS are led by former teacher, Bob Arthy who was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in 2008. 

In addition to our support group meetings we also offer regular PSA tests and host some fantastic events and road-shows throughout the year....

We also recognise that women can be very persuasive to get their men to act so to learn more about us click "contact us" for more information.

"The FOPS Case Summary" gives an overview of some of our varied case histories and you can find out more about each individual by following the links.


Also see our ”Aims” which sets out more formally what The FOPS are about and "Media Coverage" to hear Bob Arthy being interviewed in a BBC broadcast as part of our awareness campaign.

However, as well as serious discussion, we know that laughter is the best tonic in most situations to help cheer us up.

With that in mind the Fopsters (a few of the FOPS) have penned some words that go with both original and well known tunes to provide a more light hearted insight into our common problem.

Click now to hear 2 minutes of "We're the FOPS" - and you'll get the idea.

See also "The Fopsters" for more songs and helpful videos that are particularly effective in raising awareness.   

 

Please explore our site and if, at some stage, you would like to join the FOPS you would be very welcome to join us in helping others take on Tiger Cancer of the prostate - and give them the best chance to get back on with their lives, as we have.
