The 9th-15th of June is Men's Health Week. It provides an opportunity to raise awareness about penile cancer. It aims to encourage men to be aware of their health. If Cormac’s story helps to save one man’s life, we’ve done a good job.

It was great to hear @alisondoran94 speak about her role as CNS Penile, Bladder, and Renal Cancer in Beaumont Hospital and launch the penile cancer patient information booklet at the NCCP National Urological Aancer Quality and Audit Forum today.
Beaumont RCSI Cancer Centre is home to the National Penile Cancer service led by Mr Ivor Cullen @imcandrol and CNS Alison Doran. As part of #urologycancerawarenessmonth Alison gives an overview of this cancer and the service here at @CancerCentreIre 👇

#Liveline caller Peter told Joe about the importance of keeping your sense of humour alive when dealing with serious health issues. He was joined on the line by Paddy and Padraig on the line, all of whom wanted to raise awareness about penile tumours.

Thank you to the three men who spoke so openly about their journeys of urethral cancer.
It is so important to raise awareness of the disease and squash the stigma!
If in doubt, get it checked out!
