Last Monday, we had Mr Mak (Urology consultant) who came to talk about research trials and prostate cancer. Currently the ELIPSE (Evaluation of Lymphadenectomy In high risk Prostate cancer SurgEry) trial is studying two different types of surgery for men with high risk localised prostate cancer. The two types of surgery being compared are:

Surgery where the prostate and lymph glands are removed vs Surgery where the prostate alone is removed.

This study will hopefully in the future determine whether it is better to remove lymph nodes during prostate cancer surgery.

Thankyou Mr Mak for joining us! 🩵

This week, after the AGM, we had Dr. Steve Allen (retired consultant anaesthetist) come to our group to talk about sexual dysfunction following prostate surgery, and what an informative and fascinating talk it was! Lots of information was shared and lots of questions were answered.

Ian Chambers (vacuum pump representative) also came and did a great talk about vacuum pump devices and how they can benefit with pe**le rehabilitation following prostate surgery.

Thankyou to both Steve and Ian for coming along! 🩵

Dave Peters will be raising money for Prostate Cancer UK 🩵
Read his story below, and if you would like to donate, he will be at our Health and Wellbeing Event on Monday 2nd June 2025!

“My name is Dave Peters a pensioner of 75 years.I am a keen cyclist and my challenge for this year is 3rides in 3 days. Ride one is from Wolverhampton to Barmouth in Wales 130 miles on Friday June 20th. Day two Saturday a 60 miles down the Walsh coast line. Day 3 Sunday I cycle all the way back to Wolverhampton. With your help I would like to raise £500 for Prostate Cancer UK. I finished my prostate cancer treatment in April 2022. Now I hope that the money raised by you and me will help to bring a screening program for men and maybe help stop needless deaths from Prostate cancer.
Thanks for your support. Dave.”
