Macclesfield MP David Rutley is working with Prostate Cancer UK to raise awareness of prostate cancer.
David met with the charity over a game of table football to learn more about the steps in place to support men with prostate cancer.
David said, “There are 250,000 men living with prostate cancer across the country and our goal should be to ensure all these men get the care and support they need. This is an issue we need to tackle head on if we are going to help more men survive and have a better quality of life.”
Chris Kirby from Prostate Cancer UK said, “Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and set to be the most common cancer overall by 2030, yet there are still wide variations in the standard of care that men receive across the country. We have vowed to lead a movement to change this and I am delighted that David has signed up to champion us in our mission. Men deserve the best, and we’re determined that’s exactly what they get.”
