Support plays a very important part in adjusting to living with Pelvic Radiation Disease (PRD). We have a number of support services available that are free to access for people living with PRD.
The support we provide does not replace professional care and we are unable to offer medical advice or connect you with healthcare professionals directly. Please seek advice from your doctor in the first instance to discuss concerns that your symptoms could be related to your previous radiotherapy treatment, regardless of how long ago you received it.
Our Chat Together peer support groups provide a welcoming and informal space for people living with PRD to connect with others who understand. Whether you are recently affected or have been living with PRD for some time, you are welcome to join the conversation in our afternoon or evening sessions.
Our friendly Online Community brings together people living with PRD from across the UK and beyond. A welcoming space that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, where people can share experiences, ask questions, offer support, and learn from one another in a safe and understanding environment.
We understand that living with PRD can sometimes affect confidence and make leaving home feel daunting. Our Out and About Toolkit is designed to help you feel more prepared and supported when you’re on the move. It includes useful resources such as a RADAR key and a ‘Just Can’t Wait’ toilet card, helping you feel more confident and independent when out and about.
Find information on our Financial and social support page including help with: prescriptions costs, water bills and benefits you may be entitled to.
