Michael
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
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
A research trial lead John to a 'lucky' diagnosis of prostate cancer. The same research trial selected him as a candidate for a radical prostatectomy, a routine operation but in John's case one that was hampered by an infection.
Monty
A series of events lead to Monty's diagnosis of prostate cancer, including some life-saving advice from a colleague. Following his recovery, Monty has launched a UK prostate cancer awareness campaign, successfully targeting over 134 councils.
Dave
Following on from a blood test and a diagnosis of prostate cancer in May 2011, Dave has put his energy into helping raise awareness of prostate cancer with the Oxfordshire Prostate Cancer Support Group.
