Cancer survivor-turned-advocate Trevor Walker has announced another series of public workshops.
The former building society manager of Morgans Lane, Uxbridge, is now a volunteer with Prostate Cancer UK, and spends a lot of time spreading the message to men that they must take their health seriously and get themselves checked.
“My mantra is better tested than permanently rested,” said Trevor, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer 16 years ago.
“I’m an optimist by nature but felt the world come crashing down around me when the consultant told me he had found a cancerous growth.
“I remember struggling to take it in which is why it is always good to have someone with you. My wife, Babs, was wonderful.
“Anyone who tells you they aren’t scared when they receive a diagnosis like that are lying.
“However, you have to make the best of things, because life is for living at the end of the day.”
The talks, each from 2-4pm, will be at the Reg Hopkins Centre at Harlington Hospice in St Peter’s Way, Harlington UB3 5AB.
June 16: Continence, plumbing and waterworks issues.
June 23: Sexual disfunction and its effects on relationships.
June 30: Fatigue, exercise and prostate cancer.
July 7: Long-term side-effects after radiotherapy.
July 14: Hormone therapy, diet and prostate cancer.
