Prostate Cancer Campaign

dinahsmum · 11-06-2009, 01:13 PM

Did you know that more men suffer from prostate cancer than women do from breast cancer? It's very much a Cinderella subject.
The Prostate Cancer charity has made a big effort to obtain free advertising on London buses in a current on-line competition.
There's 3 days left in the voting. Maybe Catsey members would like to vote, once a day, to try to push it to the top of the chart (it's been creeping up every day this month)
Here's a post on the subject (with the voting link) I've lifted from another site; I hope that's OK

The Prostate Cancer Charity has been entered into London's biggest creative challenge to win free advertising on London's buses.

Please visit the website to view the 'Sorry, must dash' advert vote please and to find out how you can vote for the entry in the competition.

Voting closes on the 15th June.

My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year

apart from the dreadful shock of being told that he had cancer there was also the stigma of having an illness that no one want,s to mention

Luckily he had surgery which removed the tumour and so far he has been clear

So it,s a very worthwhile cause to support

I am alway,s surprised that so many men ignore their symtems

as my O/H did until it became acute) sure that women take their health more seriously

Why is there not a screening programe like we have for breast cancer

I've voted. A friend of my hubbys died of this 3 years ago at the age of 25. After being repeatedly told he DIDN'T have it, mainly because he was too young!!

Thanks everyone.
Whether due to Catsey input or not I don't know, but the campaign is now equal first! Well done.
Please vote again today and tomorrow - right up to the closing date - and if you have access to more than one internet account vote on that too. Every little helps.

Men and their health! I hope the prostate campaign might be one that moves to a high profile soon, with men being as 'accepting' of the indignity of a potential finger where the sun don't shine as we are of squashed boobs at the mammogram clinic. It's a very small price to pay for some reassurance or the possibility if early diagnosis and treatment.

Vote early - Vote often!

I've voted again. Got a bit confused with the drop down box. I think I'm a "consumer" - is that right?

dinahsmum · 12-06-2009, 01:37 PM

Yes - I think it's mostly aimed at the advertising industry so we would be (willing or unwilling) consumers of adverts.
It's great that it's hit equal first - vote early, vote often!
