Cancer Survivor Support
The NHS’s initiative is being supported by: David, 70 years old, from Cambridge; Adil, 28 years old from London; and Michael, 67 years old, from Buckinghamshire, who were all diagnosed with cancer after noticing blood in their pee.
Michael said: “When I first noticed blood in my pee in 2013, I didn’t think it could be cancer. But, after a few days my wife urged me to contact my GP practice which led to my bladder cancer diagnosis. If it wasn’t for my wife, I’m not sure when I’d have contacted my doctor – so this new NHS initiative with P-Wave is such an important way to ensure men get the message that if they have blood in their pee, they really need to get it checked out. I’m so grateful that I sought help when I did, and now I work at Fight Bladder Cancer where I’m in a position where I can help highlight this vital sign of cancer to others.”
