March is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month


Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer in the UK affecting 35,000 men each year. It is estimated that one man dies every hour from the disease.
Despite the huge number of men affected, we just don't talk about this cancer enough. The Prostate Cancer Cancer Charity tell us that this is a ‘hidden’ disease and are campaigning for raised awareness of prostate cancer.
The campaign highlights the fact that with an early diagnosis it is in many cases possible to make a full recovery.
They also want all men to receive adequate information about their treatment options, side effects and what support is available. For further information go to: http://www.hiddencancer.org.uk/
