Ageing, Cancer, Health, Men's Health, Sex & Sexuality, Sexual Health, Uncategorized

Jacinta and Rachel speak to John and Bryan from Prostate Pride, a peer support group in Melbourne for LGBTIQA+ people who have experienced/are experiencing prostate cancer.

John and Bryan share their stories with prostate cancer, and how treatments can have complicated impacts on sexuality, body image, work and more. We also discuss what tests to ask for at the doctor and the importance of testing for indicators of prostate disease, and the lack of testing guidelines for prostate cancer.

The Prostate Pride group meets monthly in Abbotsford
