Men’s Health Week.

I’m taking strides to save men’s lives.

Prostate cancer is Australia’s most commonly diagnosed cancer. 1 in 5 men are likely to be diagnosed by 85.

That’s why, this Men’s Health Week, I’m making every step count.

Will you donate today and help fund new research to detect and defeat prostate cancer?

Vigilance pays off

Wednesday 12th Jun
Almost 30 years ago, Dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer. It was caught too late, and within 2 years he died. The cancer had spread into his bones. Dad was just 67 years old and Mum was left a widow just at the time they should have been enjoying retirement together.

With this family history, I made sure I had an examination and a blood test every year. My PSA remained low for many years, but four years ago it started to slowly climb. Last year it reached 3.7, still relatively low, but the trend was clear. A scan followed by a biopsy revealed that I had medium level prostate cancer with two tumours which seemed to be still contained in the prostate.

At 69 years of age I had a radical prostatectomy, totally removing my prostate. I really appreciated the help and advice from the specialist hospital nurse funded  by the Pristate Cancer Foundation. 

My PSA is now so low as to be unmeasurable, which is the best result that you can hope for. Another year and the result would probably have been very different. I’m feeling great and I just completed a 600km walk in Portugal and Spain. Vigilance pays off.
