I am hosting a Charity night on 15th February in aid of Prostate Cancer UK. This event is very close to my heart as my father, Robert Tarling, was diagnosed with this dreadful disease in January 2018. After months
of treatment, operations and spending a lot of time in recovery, we recently received the fantastic and very welcome news that we don’t have to see the specialist consultant for another six months.

On receiving this news, I decided that the best way to create awareness about this form of cancer was to have a charity night and fundraise for the fantastic organization that is Prostate Cancer UK. Prostate cancer is
one of the most common forms of cancer and affects 1 in 8 men.  Despite this, prostate cancer also has one of the highest rates of successful treatment if it is caught in the early stages.

Dad’s treatment started within weeks of his initial biopsy and after all the stress of treatment decision making, Dad decided to undergo surgery on 15^th February 2018. This is where our journey started. To shorten the story my Dad had a lot of complications which resulted in further operations, but if it wasn’t for the NHS and the initial research into Dad’s Cancer, I would imagine that I would be typing something very different right now. 

Moving forward we have come so far, Dad has gone back to work
just recently and he is starting to feel more human day by day!

Prostate cancer affects so many and raising money for new and continuing research into treatments can only have positive benefits for everyone.  With this in mind, any donation towards Prostate Cancer UK will be gratefully received!
