Live web chat with Dr Hilary Jones
GMTV’s resident health expert, Dr Hilary Jones, will be making prostate cancer matter, as he hosts a live web chat for The Prostate Cancer Charity’s first ever awareness month.
Dr Hilary will appear live in the studio on Wednesday 18 March, as he answers questions from members of the public about prostate cancer. He will be offering crucial information on the symptoms, treatment and diagnosis of the disease. The Prostate Cancer Charity’s specialist support and information nurse, Pat Cohen, will also be on hand to take questions.
The live web chat is being held at 11am, as part of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, which aims to increase awareness, not only of prostate cancer, but also of some of the inequities surrounding the disease, under the banner, ‘it matters’. 35,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year in the UK and one man dies every hour of the disease. Despite the scale of prostate cancer, the Charity believes there is still a long way to go to improve men’s experience of the disease.
