Encouraged to hear @wesstreeting comments on
@BBCr4today on early diagnosis of #ProstateCancer. @ProstateUK have already outlined solutions which directly address his points. We're calling for urgent action so that stories like Sir Chris Hoy’s can be avoided 💙
[1/5] We're grateful to Sir @ChrisHoy for so bravely and openly telling his story on @BBCBreakfast this morning, and we welcome news that the Government is now actively looking into testing men who have a family history of #ProstateCancer from the age of 45.

Incredible interview on @bbc5live @TVNaga01 with @ProstateUK @oscdebosc & @nickowentv. #ProstateCancer is now England’s most common cancer. This is partly due to high-profile men, like Nick, sharing their story & saving lives. Listen here from 11.

Thanks @MovemberUK for inviting us to this morning’s event to hear @wesstreeting make this wonderful announcement 💙 #ProstateCancer will sit right at the heart of this strategy and we are ready to partner with @DHSCgovuk to get this right for men’s physical and mental health 📝

It will address the biggest health problems affecting men of all ages, which could include:

⚫ prostate & testicular cancers
⚫ mental health

The #prostatecancer community are the BEST⭐️thanks to everyone who shared this - we are *SO* close to 1000!! Survey closes at the end of the week and we only need a few more people to share their thoughts to help bring our next @ProstateUK strategy to life 💙 Link below ⬇️
We're so excited to be launching our @ProstateUK '1000 Men' survey. 350+ men have already completed it today🙏If you've had #ProstateCancer (or loved ones) then please take a few mins to help shape our next chapter @prostatescot @TackleProstate @ProstateCymru @PCR_News 💙Thanks
The @ProstateUK Risk Checker is the wording from the current NHS Guidelines. We hope these will be updated soon, but in the meantime I'm sure you agree that raising awareness of risk and explaining pros and cons of the PSA test is a good place to start prostatecanceruk.org/for-hea…
Unfortunately, the @ProstateUK risk checker just ends up telling everyone over 50 they are at risk.
Not a great tool. In fact, far from it given its over-simplification.
And yes, many have told them this!

We are saddened by Sir Chris Hoy's terminal cancer diagnosis.
Like many, he was diagnosed too late. The PSA blood test is vital for early detection, yet guidelines stop GPs from offering it.
We join @ProstateUK in urging the Government to revise these guidelines & save lives.
Chiara De Biase retweeted
We are saddened to read the news that Sir @chrishoy is facing a terminal cancer diagnosis.
Men simply should not be diagnosed with #ProstateCancer at Stage 4.
But sadly, Sir Chris is one of thousands of men in the UK who have received their diagnosis too late.

The current system is failing men.
It's unjust, it's unfair, and it's time to put an end to it.
That's why yesterday we gathered at #Westminster with researchers, people with lived experience and policy makers to share our new programme for government

Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS.
I think this is a national scandal.
Please RT if you do too 🙏
In this interview with @skynewsniall, Dr Rachel Clarke (@doctor_oxford) emphasises the need to prioritise quality end of life care.
Regardless of Parliament's decision on assisted dying, fixing the funding of our struggling hospice and end of life care system is essential.

Thanks to the @thetimes covering the new PSA consensus. Delivered by @ProstateUK and a whole raft of experts and patients. This is a monumental achievement that will shift the dial to improve the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
Thousands of lives could be saved if the NHS overhauled “dangerously outdated” guidelines that stop men getting tested for prostate cancer, landmark research has concluded ⬇️
