Prostate Cancer
Every hour in the UK three more men are diagnosed with prostate cancer and at least one will die of the disease.What You Need to Know
It is now the most common cancer to affect men. Many more men have the disease without even knowing it or experiencing any symptoms.
Waging War on Prostate Cancer
The shocking statistic is prostate cancer kills one man every hour and only 30% of men with advanced prostate cancer survive 5 years. They are in desperate need of our help. General the Lord Richard Dannatt leads us into the battle with prostate cancer at Stokes Centre for Urology. Below are our three offensives to beat the third largest cancer killer in the UK.
“In any theatre of war, it is vital to understand your enemy – their strengths, their weaknesses and their behaviour. The same disciplines are needed to effectively fight cancer. I urge you to support the Prostate Project’s battle with this insidious disease that claims so many men’s lives.”
“Being able to talk to men with prostate cancer who had taken the decisions I was faced with, was a huge benefit for me and my family.”
“My partner gets a great boost from being with other “sufferers” and being able to chat to them and swapping experiences gives him confidence. You’re doing a marvellous job and we’re so thankful to be part of your group.”
“The Prostate Project has done a huge amount to improve the care of men with prostate cancer and I thank them for their continuing efforts.”
“My involvement with the PP Support Group enables me to keep up to date and ensure I give others the correct advice. There is help in abundance for prostate cancer patients – don’t die of ignorance.”
