Calling all African Caribbean men! Black and Minority Ethnic Awareness Week

 

Images Video Audio  
Macmillan Cancer Support is calling for greater public awareness of prostate cancer during this year’s Black and Minority Ethnic Awareness Week (3 - 10 July).

As millions of us all over the world viewed the opening of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa, many would have seen Archbishop Tutu dancing elegantly in the spirit of new Africa. He is a survivor of prostate cancer, just like broadcaster Darcus Howe.
From 3 - 10 July visit www.macmillan.org.uk to find out how Darcus felt when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Get an update of how he is now and discover what drives his passion for Black and African Caribbean men to be more aware of prostate cancer, which African Caribbean men have approximately three times greater risk of developing[1].

Kim Hardwick, Senior Nurse at Macmillan Cancer Support, says: “Prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in men in the UK[2]. It is not yet clear why, but Black men of West African or Caribbean background have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer than white men.

During Ethnic Minority Cancer Awareness Week we’re reminding men like Darcus that they are not alone. They can contact Macmillan for no-nonsense practical information and advice to help them cope whilst living with prostate cancer.”

For further information about prostate cancer, please visit www.macmillan.org.uk/prostate or call 0808 808 00 00 and speak directly to a cancer nurse specialist.
