Providing an environment that empowers men to make informed decisions about the diagnosis and treatment of their prostate cancer.
Auckland
The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCFNZ) has a significant role in promoting public awareness of this disease. With over 4000 New Zealand men being diagnosed each year, and with early detection leading to better outcomes, it is important that men are aware of the signs of potential disease and also of the PSA screening test that is available from their doctor.
A prostate cancer diagnosis can be an anxious and confusing time, often presenting more questions than answers for men, and those around them. PCFNZ has a broad portfolio of in-person and remote services to assist them through the process and live their best life beyond prostate cancer, all at no cost.
These include a toll-free Information Service 0800 660 800, Online Support Forum, Counselling Service, Welfare Grants Service, Support Groups, Rainbow Blue peer support network for the GBT+ community, Prostate Cancer Patient Empowerment Programme (PC-PEP) and Prost-FIT, an exercise programme designed specifically for men living with prostate cancer.
The Prostate Cancer Foundation of NZ (PCFNZ) is Aotearoa New Zealand's leading men's cancer charity, playing a pivotal role in raising awareness of public awareness of prostate and testicular cancer; investing in research to improve health outcomes; and supporting men and their families impacted by the diseases, and advocating on their behalf to improve standards of diagnosis, treatment and care.
Pam thats really kind of you, it is such a great cause, as the Selwyn Support group were an amazing help for Pete, so this will help many other men.
Tommy & Pauline was fun meeting you both at various times on the Camino thanks so much.
Connie you're a star, thanks. We have really had an incredible time, it has shown us that actually we are capable of more than we think. Was a very emotional finish at Santiago, but was exceptionally proud of our effort.
Barbara thank you so much, we were all very happy to do the hard yards to raise money for ChCh & Selwyn. Pete wanted to give back to the Selwyn Support group, but was unable to, so I thought I would do it for him, & luckily some amazing ladies joined me, & we were doing it for Gwyn & all the men going thru' this journey as well.
Antony thank you so much, we had to dig deep sometimes because of the heat, but at no point did we regret it. This has been a life changing experience, spiritual & magical.
