Episode 111: Prostate Cancer through a patient Lens with Tony Collier BEM

Send us Fan Mail Lifestyle and patient choices in Prostate Cancer Prostate cancer has been part of a revolution in terms of treatment options and improved outcomes for our patients. How can we make that improvement in numbers on survival curves match the goals and needs of our patients? Join us in this first of 2 special live episodes of the Simply Oncology Podcast on Patient Choices and Lifestyle in Prostate Cancer. We talk to patient expert Tony Collier, Dr Lucy Gossage - an oncologist involved with Move Against Cancer and Professor Alison Birtle an oncologist with extensive experience treating prostate cancer. In this Episode we talk to Tony Collier about his experience of being a prostate cancer patient. We hear how the focus on treatment led him to have to advocate his quality of life and life goals himself. We hear how clinicians could align with patients’ goals with just a few simple questions. We hear about the huge positive impact that maintaining exercise has had on Tony’s life with cancer. Hearing Tony’s live experience of some very personal aspects of a cancer diagnosis and treatment is hugely moving and powerful. We hope you enjoy! *This is a non-promotional podcast episode organised by Bayer PLC in partnership with Simply Oncology (Dr John McGrane and Dr Michael Rowe) to highlight the importance of holistic care in managing patients with prostate cancer.
