Health Help: Prostate Cancer

The Life Force Program: An awareness program you can trust

Did you know that prostate cancer is the leading cause of cancer in Australia today?

1 in 5 men are likely to be diagnosed in their lifetime.

Join us at West Ryde Library for a men's health talk on prostate cancer awareness as part of the celebration for Movember. The session will be presented by a community speaker with first-hand experience of prostate cancer from the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.
