Story

Hi Everyone,

Please help me raise vital funds for this cause.

I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in March this year, Wow I’m to young surely ... that’s what I thought. Not so.

It was Nikii that noticed the signs around Christmas time 2017

I was getting up through the night to use the bathroom more than usual and taking an age to do so.I would feel desperate to urinate but the flow would be slow.

I happened to mention this to Nikii when on a trip with the kids shopping in Cardiff to spend their money they had for Christmas.

A Dr. phoned me within half an hour and booked me in for an examination, blood test and examination a few days later. 

Didn’t look to promising so he referred me to Taunton for further tests. After many scans etc it was confirmed that I DID in fact have Cancer.

Scan had shown that it had spread to my pelvis ( now advanced prostate cancer ) so treatment is the way forward not a cure...  it has stopped growing due to the hormone therapy I’m receiving. Fingers crossed it lasts a very long time.

They say it is unusual for someone my age to get this but I’ve noticed it’s not so..

IF IN DOUBT GET IT CHECKED OUT.

Speed is vital for a better chance of recovery.

I WILL NOT GIVE UP AND MY FAMILY ARE MY ROCK.

TOGETHER WE WILL BEAT THIS?

This not for my benefit but to raise awareness to all men out there, don’t be scared or embarrassed. Your family needs you to be around for a very long time.


Thank  you 

Kev
