Did you know? The risk of prostate cancer increases with age, with most cases diagnosed in men over 50. Black men are also at increased risk. Knowing your risk can help you make informed decisions about your health. Visit the infopool to find out more: theinfopool.co.uk/prostate-a… In honour of Urology Awareness Month, we’ll be posting all about the prostate, prostate cancer symptoms, risk factors and more. Share this post with a loved one who needs to see it.

As it’s Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, have a read of this buzzfeed article. Men on Reddit have been sharing what led to their prostate cancer diagnosis - from symptoms they hadn’t realised could be linked to prostate cancer to having no symptoms at all.

It’s Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Our Chairman, Martin Davies, knows first-hand what it’s like to have prostate cancer return after surgery. In this video, Martin talks about his experience of undergoing further radiotherapy and the side effects he faced.

His story shows why research into preventing prostate cancer from returning is so important. Visit our Prostate Project website for more information on our current research, including work on a prostate cancer vaccine.

Our Man Van travels across Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex, taking free PSA testing out into local communities, but keeping it on the road comes at a cost. We’re looking for commercial sponsors to help towards fuel, maintenance, testing kits and our professional phlebotomists.
