Healthy on Hormones
Around 100 men a year are diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer at Guy ’ s and St Thomas ’. Extra support for men living with the condition is invaluable , and has been made possible thanks to wonderful donations .
Healthy on Hormones is a new patient education seminar for men receiving hormone therapy , a treatment which works to suppress testosterone as it ’ s this which prostate cancer thrives on .
As well as giving support around challenging physical side-effects the group ’ s programme also addresses how to manage mental outlook , such as handling mood swings and loss of libido .
Kevin was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February 2013 and receives hormone therapy .
‘ We have to live healthy without that crucial hormone which defines us as men : testosterone ,’ he explains . ‘ At Healthy on Hormones , we ’ re showered with a wealth of interesting information and useful tips for staying healthy while living with prostate cancer .’

An incredible £ 1.1m was raised by 21 brave folk who zipped over the River Thames last December .
London Fire Brigade helped stage the event by rigging 463 metres of zip wire from the roof of St Thomas ’ Hospital to Victoria Tower Gardens by the Houses of Parliament . Special thanks to Deputy Assistant Commissioner , Andy Roe , who dreamt up the brilliant idea to show his thanks for the care his son Zaki receives at the hospital . Funds raised are going towards building a new Clinical Research Facility – and we still need over £ 1.5m to hit our target . You can donate at supportevelina . org . uk / CRF
