Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer we see in men. It happens in the prostate, a small walnut-shaped gland in males that generates seminal fluid and nourishes and transports sperm. Many prostate cancers are slow-growing and are limited to the prostate gland, which is unlikely to cause substantial harm. While some types of prostate cancer are slow-growing and require little or no treatment, others spread quickly.

My friend's dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer and died recently.
As a mark of respect a group of us are raising money for mens health charities by growing a moustache. Why a moustache you may ask?
Well, Movember is a moustache growing charity event held during November that raises funds & awareness for men's health.
In 2010, over 100,000 people in the UK got on board, raising over ÂŁ10 million.
Just ÂŁ1 will make a difference. Between all of the team and the people we know, we'll raise ÂŁ1000's. I'd love you to be a part of that.
The funds raised are directed to programs run directly by Movember and our men's health partners, The Prostate Cancer Charity and the Institute of Cancer Research. They support a broad range of programs in the areas of awareness and education, survivorship and research.
Our specialists in the Cancer Program are leaders in the areas of breast, lung, skin, head and neck, brain, gastrointestinal and prostate cancer treatment. We offer patients access to clinical trials and state-of-the-art technologies, including Gamma Knife technology and cooling cap technology, to ensure the best outcomes. We take an evidence-based, personalized and multidisciplinary team approach to treating and researching cancers.
