giving men a better chance of beating prostate cancer
Sir Rod Stewart speaking at a fundraising event for the Prostate Project and golf's European Tour Foundation.
He shared that has been given the all-clear after being diagnosed with prostate cancer two years ago.
Sir Rod urged men to get checked, adding: "Guys, you've got to really go to the doctor."
Men with male relatives who have had prostate cancer, black men and men over 50 are at higher risk of getting the disease.
Waging War on Prostate Cancer
We are honoured to win Eagle Radio's 'Special Award' at the Local Heroes Awards Ceremony 2018. It is an annual celebration of those people who go above and beyond in our community, helping to make it a better place.
Watch Colin Stokes, Tim Sharp and Stephen Langley explain why the Stokes Centre for Urology is vital in transforming the treatment and care of urology patients at the Royal Surrey County Hospital.
And how none of this would have happened without the amazing generosity of our local community, pulling together to work in partnership with the NHS.
