Prostate Cancer Talks – Men’s Health
We believe that collaboration is the key to making a lasting impact on men’s health and the wellbeing of men from across Cork. These talks are a powerful tool in spreading awareness about critical health issues such as prostate cancer. The partnership that comes from these talks goes beyond financial contributions; they are about fostering change, education, and ultimately, saving men’s lives.
“Workplace prostate cancer talk led to my early diagnosis”
Caoilte Sexton, Quality Engineer and Training Supervisor at Dornan Engineering told us how the Mercy Foundation’s Prostate Cancer Talk led to his early detection and a better outcome for his cancer diagnosis: “After attending the Foundation’s talk at Dornan’s head office on the importance of men getting their prostate checked, I followed up with my doctor and made an appointment for a check-up. This was something I intended to do when I turned 50 but never got around to. The talk gave me the push to do so at 53 and I ended up being diagnosed with prostate cancer. It was caught very early on, and I am on the road to a full recovery. I am most grateful for the Foundation for raising awareness around this topic.”
