There hasn't been a new therapeutic treatment [for #prostatecancer funded in almost 10 years, while overseas, they are about two generations of medicine ahead of us. rnz.co.nz/news/national/4967…

If you agree, like Kristine, that our men deserve a prostate cancer early detection programme you've got 7 weeks before the election to lobby your local politicians. #earlydetectionsaveslives #prostatecancernz

We invited Prof. Van Poppel to present to a NZ audience in 2022 and we were inspired. Aotearoa absolutely needs to be echoing the PRAISE-U project and trialling organised, population-based screening in the NZ context now. @prostatenz #earlydetectionsaveslives #prostatecancer
Prostate cancer does not receive the policy attention it deserves. Please share this short testimonial for the PRAISE-U project and encourage others to participate in this important initiative. Let’s add Prostate Cancer to the table on men’s health policy.

A fantastic effort everybody!
A momentus day. The 30,500 signature petition has been handed over, received by @NZNationalParty's Gerry Brownlee. But the work continues, to get a pilot #prostatecancer screening programme underway. #earlydetectionsaveslives
Join us this Thursday at noon on the steps of parliament!
To all 30,317 of you who signed Kristine Hayward's petition calling for a centrally funded and administered early #prostatecancer detection strategy - thank you from the bottom of our hearts 🙏💙 If you can, please join us in presenting it to Parliament on Thursday.

On the road again, en-route to Wellington for a special event on the 27th. Watch this space for details, in the meantime check out the stunning National Park. #earlydetectionsaveslives #petition #prostatecancernz
So important. Please sign today!
#prostatecancer kills around 700 NZ men a year. Kristine Hayward lost her husband Bruce prematurely to the disease. Her petition for a population-based testing regime, if implemented, could cut mortality by as much as 50%. If you agree please sign it 🙏 tinyurl.com/petitionkh
We hope as many people diagnosed with prostate cancer follow the link to take part in this innovative study. You will be helping to achieve improved outcomes for everyone affected!
How do #prostatecancer patients access and understand diagnostic and treatment information? Good communication between men and their healthcare providers is vital. What's your experience? @prostatecancernz @Waikato PCFNZ Patient Info Study

Prostate cancer is our most diagnosed cancer, yet we still have no centrally-funded population-based risk-strategised early detection strategy, as we do for breast and bowel. #earlydetectionsaveslive #prostatecancernz stuff.co.nz/nelson-mail/1319…
