Local News: Support group for men with Prostrate Cancer

Prostate cancer has been in the news a lot over the last couple of months – for all the wrong reasons. It is now the most common form of cancer in England. One in eight men will get prostate cancer, and it can be very serious. The good news is that diagnosis and treatment are easier now than ever, particularly if it is found early. The first step is to talk to your doctor.

We were contacted by Philip Traynier, secretary of the Aylesbury Vale Prostate Cancer Support Group, which provides support from a group of men who have been through this potentially life changing condition. If you, or a partner, have been recently diagnosed with Prostate Cancer the group offers support based on personal experience.
