Every Step Forward: How Physical Activity Helped Me Through Prostate Cancer — By Ian Taylor When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer on 1 March 2024, I knew the road ahead would be challenging. With surgery booked for December…

There has been a slight change in schedule for our next support group meeting.

Instead of Mr Gupta joining us, CNS Nicola Stringer will be doing a talk about living well with prostate cancer and the importance of physical activity.

We hope to see you all there! 💙

Yet another fantastic turn out for our prostate cancer support group. On Monday 20th July we welcomed Mr Kondisetty (Urology Consultant) from New Cross Hospital.

Mr Kondisetty did a talk about living well with prostate cancer and gentleman on active surveillance for their prostate cancer. It was a great interactive session which was informative to all.

A Q&A session was also held after Mr Kondisettys talk and as always there was lots of queries and concerns which were raised and hopefully all were answered. 💙

Today we have Mr Kondisetty (urology consultant) from New Cross Hospital who will be discussing active surveillance. There will also be a Q&A afterwards with Mr Kondisetty to ask him anything about prostate cancer. We will see you all soon!

Jeremy Clarkson reveals 'aggressive' cancer diagnosis The former Top Gear presenter shared the diagnosis with his Clarkson's Farm co-stars during episodes which premiered overnight.

Recently, Ian, Clive (our PCSG committee members) and 3 friends climbed Snowdon to raise money for Prostate Cancer Research.

Three members of the group who climbed Snowden have undergone robotic prostatectomies within the last 12 months, demonstrating that recovery from prostate cancer can still allow you to lead a full, active, and rewarding life.

Clive and Ian strongly believe that staying active and maintaining a positive mindset can play an important role in recovery, helping improve both physical and mental wellbeing.

Their achievement also shows that it is possible to accomplish great things after surgery and while undergoing ADT (androgen deprivation therapy).

Together, they raised an amazing £3,537 for Prostate Cancer Research through the Snowdonia for Science Challenge on 13 June 2026.

If you’d like to find out more about the challenge, their recovery journeys following robotic prostatectomy, or how they manage the effects of ADT, please come and chat with us at the next Prostate Cancer Support Group meeting.

Sharing is caring, and knowledge is empowering. We are stronger together. It’s good to talk, share experiences, and support one another through the prostate cancer journey.

Well done all!! 💙
