We desperately need a prostate screening programme that covers all males, sadly too many very treatable cancers are missed dur to no symptoms being present at the early stages when it is most survivable. Some of us have been incredibly lucky that our tumours have been found when other procedures or investigations have been taking place, when the tumour is still encapsulated in the prostate giving low Gleeson scores and most options for treatment. Men under 50 with a prostate cancer seem to be the least lucky as they are not included in the current screening. I have included the following from the Prostate Cancer UK site just to remind us all why we need to be vigilant and get tested. You are two and a half times more likely to get prostate cancer if your father or brother has had it, compared to a man who has no relatives with prostate cancer. Your chance of getting prostate cancer may be even greater if your father or brother was under 60 when he was diagnosed, or if you have more than one close relative (father or brother) with prostate cancer. Your risk of getting prostate cancer may also be higher if your mother or sister has had breast cancer or ovarian cancer.
“If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same”. Blown away by the resilience and determination of Sir Chris Hoy this morning. Shortly after being told that he has between 2-4 years to live because of his terminal cancer… his lovely wife, Sarra, was diagnosed with MS. The man remains an incredible inspiration. Sending love to the whole family.

At Telix, we are united by a common purpose – to help people living with cancer and rare diseases live longer, better quality lives. This year, more than 100,000 Telix doses were delivered to patients through our approved imaging agent, clinical trials and early access programs. That’s a dose every 5 minutes. At this time of year, our thoughts are with those who continue to be affected by cancer. In honour of them we will be making donations to Prostate Health Education Network, Sock it to Sarcoma! and the International Brain Tumour Alliance. We thank you - our collaborators, customers, shareholders and friends, without whom we would not be where we are today. We wish you and your families a peaceful and happy holiday season.

Being in a support group can be so beneficial for your healing journey. It's a safe space where you can connect with others who understand what you're going through and offer support and encouragement. We love hearing feedback from our participants at the Healing Garden, like this one: “The post-treatment support group gives me the chance to be with people who really understand what a diagnosis of cancer means. We don’t all have the same cancer or experiences, but we lean on and learn from each other as we try to navigate the chaotic and often bumpy road of cancer and survivorship.” If you're struggling with a difficult situation, we encourage you to consider joining a support group. It can make all the difference in your healing journey. 💜

Imagine being 4 years old, an age typically filled with carefree play and boundless energy. Now picture having to lie perfectly still, wearing a custom-molded mask bolting your head to a table, day after day, for 30 treatments, followed by another 10 sessions. The sheer magnitude of what Neev endured is both heart-wrenching and awe-inspiring! Let Neev's bravery be the catalyst that inspires us all to take action. Together, we can make a significant impact in the lives of children facing cancer, ensuring they receive the best possible care, support, and chance at a healthy future. What will you do today to make a difference?
For children like Neev and Ronil, cancer means facing terrifying moments like this—where their bravery is tested, and pain is endured. These masks, molded to fit their heads, are crucial for radiation therapy, a process that’s even more terrifying when they’re awake, unable to move as the treatment begins. The courage these children show is beyond measure. We hear their cries, and it’s up to us to answer—with hope, support, and action. Every child deserves a future, and we can make that future brighter through research and philanthropy. Register for our BORN Gala NOW -- Find the link in the comments.
