  • Michael

    A friend's advice comes just in time.

    My friend's advice to go and get a PSA test was the best advice I'd ever had. It gave the medical team a baseline on which to compare my following PSA results and made sure my prostate cancer wasn't missed.

  • Peter

    Living with the long-term effects of prostate surgery

    Although the diagnosis and treatment for prostate cancer was a major upset in Peter's life, he describes how the long-term side-effects of a radical prostatectomy can be just as life-changing.

  • John

  • Dave
