A week highlighting the services available to those affected by prostate cancer.

From Monday 10th to Friday 14th October, Macmillan Jersey will be hosting seminars, talks and workshops with healthcare professionals - to allow islanders to find out more about prostate cancer, and the support services available to them.

These events are not just for those living with prostate cancer - but family, friends and colleagues, anyone impacted by a diagnosis.

Tuesday the 11th join us from 12.30pm to 2pm at The Members Room at Societe-Jersiase, (Pier Road) as we have a seminar that will give anyone wanting to know about prostate cancer support that is available to them a better understanding, with guest Ben Hughes - Jersey's consultant urologist.
