MEN are being invited to find out more about prostate cancer at an awareness event in Brierley Hill.
Run by Orchid, the UK’s leading charity working in the area of male-specific cancers, will host a roadshow in Moor Street on April 28 and 29 from 9am to 5pm.
Specialists will be on hand to offer free information, advice on how to check for the signs of prostate cancer and the Prostate Specific Antigen test.
Rob Cornes, one of the charity’s male cancer information nurse specialists, said: “Getting an early diagnosis is vital.
"It is crucial that men are familiar with the signs and symptoms and feel comfortable seeking professional advice if they have any concerns or worrying symptoms, particularly men from African and Caribbean communities.
“We really hope that men across the borough will take the opportunity to come to the roadshow to meet the Orchid team.”
