Day of action 2010
Improving prostate cancer care in your area
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who took action on the 19th March
See what has happened so far as a result of your letters and emails.
A diagnosis of prostate cancer and the side effects of treatment for the disease can have a huge impact on men and their families. Having access to support services designed to help men cope with these effects can make a real difference and ensure that men are able to lead as normal a life as possible.
However, men are telling The Prostate Cancer Charity that they have not received the support they need to cope with these effects.
This needs to change.
All men should have access to the high quality support services they need to help them cope with the impact of prostate cancer and its treatment on their lives.
What we are doing?
On 19th March, during Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, The Prostate Cancer Charity, helped by people across the UK, took action to raise awareness of the need for improvements to local support services for men with prostate cancer.
Find out what we did on the 19th March and what else we are doing.
"Working together, we can make a real impact on the NHS. Join others affected by prostate cancer on 19th March 2010 and take action to ensure that men in your area are receiving the support they need to live with the disease. Now is the time to act."
John Neate, Chief Executive, The Prostate Cancer Charity
