Tony Collier
In May 2017 Tony Collier went from training to run an ultra marathon to terminally ill in 36 hours, when his runners “groin strain” was diagnosed as advance stage prostate cancer. Tony says “I was told that I'd probably had the prostate cancer for 10 years and I'd had no symptoms at all until the groin strain started hampering my training. In that 10 years I'd run 19 marathons and an ultra marathon, so I was very fit. I was only 60 when I was diagnosed and given a worst case prognosis of two years. I've since heard of many men being diagnosed in their 40's.”
Tony is now a volunteer awareness speaker and he's been shocked to find out that 47,000 men are diagnosed each year and that approximately 80% of men diagnosed early have no symptoms. Even more shocking is that approximately 9,000 men are diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer each year and, like Tony, these men's cancer has no cure, just treatment aimed to keep them alive as long as possible.
Tony went on to say “If men are diagnosed early they can have curative treatment with potentially much fewer side effects than men like me, who will be treated until options run out and therefore suffer side effects for the rest of our lives. I would urge men to go to their GP's and discuss having a PSA blood test. It's a very simple test and if I'd had it every year from age 50 I wouldn't be terminally ill now. The PSA test isn't perfect as it's not a diagnostic tool but it's the best we've currently got and the only chance men currently have of early diagnosis until a screening test is developed.”
Tony is fundraising this year by trying to run 970 miles in 2019. That's how many men die each month of prostate cancer in the UK! You can read more at his JustGiving link
