TESTIMONIAL
Meet David 🥰
"I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February 2023 when a routine blood test detected an extremely high PSA reading... I'm currently undergoing radiation and hormone treatment with the hope I'll get the 'all clear' in October.
Don't wait to get tested, the initial blood test is quick, easy and painless and it could save your life - it saved mine."
TESTIMONIAL
Rod's Journey 🙂
"My GP recommended I start PSA testing at 47, which helped save my life. I had no symptoms, but was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer. The tumour was around 1cm big.
The treatment and care I received was unbelievable and I’m very grateful for the medical staff and nurses who provided support throughout."
TESTIMONIAL
Rob is taking the power back đź‘Š
"When I was told I had an aggressive form of prostate cancer I was shocked. Then I very quickly learned how common the disease is, with one man diagnosed every 20 minutes. I couldn't have gotten through my diagnosis without PCFA's support. No bloke should have to face prostate cancer without someone to walk beside them."
TESTIMONIAL
This legend is Shane đź‘Ť
"I have a family history – my Dad died at age 59 after a two-year battle with prostate cancer, so my brothers and I have always been at a higher risk. When I got my diagnosis I did my research and spoke to different specialists. Thankfully a PSMA PET/CT found that it hadn’t spread outside the prostate."
