You can log onto the live and interactive WebTV show with Tamzin Outhwaite, where she will discuss how prostate cancer affected her family, today at 2:45pm.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. Despite this, it is a disease which can often strike men ‘out of the blue’ due to a concerning lack of knowledge about the disease.
Tamzin Outhwaite will be joined on the sofa by her father Colin, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2009; they are both backing Prostate Cancer UK’s drive to get more people talking about the disease.
Tamzin hopes that her involvement with the charity and her talking about the disease will encourage more people to do so and in turn increase awareness amongst men. Thankfully her father made a full recover but she knows only too well the importance for men to be aware of the life threatening disease.
Currently there are 250,000 men living with prostate cancer in the UK and it is the most common cancer in men. Prostate Cancer UK offers support to the one in eight men who will be diagnosed this year and are constantly fighting to help more men survive the disease and enjoy a better quality of life.
Drew Lindon, from Prostate Cancer UK, along with Tamzin and Colin are urging people to talk more about the disease and encourage you to submit any questions you may have about the disease. Log on to our live and interactive WebTV show for all you need to know about prostate cancer.
