Personal Stories
Listen Up
A collection of personal stories highlighting the journeys and challenges of African Caribbean men and women affected by prostate cancer.
We hope that by sharing these stories, we will enable people to re-examine their own attitudes to the disease and to play an active role in reducing cultural taboos and increasing awareness of prostate cancer.
We also hope that health professionals will gain valuable insight into some of the issues facing African Caribbean communities.
The Listen Up booklet is available in a PDF version for you to download and print.
