Being told you have prostate cancer (PCa) is a shock for most men and their families, quickly followed by confusion at what is being said about the treatment options. Consultants don't normally provide a recommended treatment. This means you
have to take ownership of choosing the treatment which can be very challenging at such a difficult time, especially with the seemingly unlimited advice available on the internet, from leaflets and from news items - many offering slightly differing outcomes and side effects. Even when you have made the choice you may have doubts that you have made the right one.
This is where we can help by putting you in touch with a patient led charity which has lines open from 9am-9pm daily. To contact click HERE
Funds donated to the Group have been used to help Bedford Hospital South Wing to purchase special software to improve the detection of PCa and, we continue to arrange PSA testing events in Luton, mid-Beds and Bedford each year, as well as offering Home Testing kits which you would have seen when entering our web site.
