Please read this whole thread. Such sad news for Dermot but he sends a very important message about prostate cancer @ProstateUK.
Some personal news……I’ve been diagnosed with Stage IV advanced prostate cancer I’m fortunate to have a simply outstanding medical team looking after me, who I can’t thank enough - they are administering the best possible care with expertise, compassion and sensitivity.
