In 2012 Alfred was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer.
“When I was told I had prostate cancer I was told to think short term rather than long term which completely deflated me, but it was even more difficult breaking the news to my wife and children.”
Alfred joined the Cancer Research UK-funded clinical trial, STAMPEDE, as part of his treatment. “It’s a trial looking at new combinations of treatment for prostate cancer patients to see which can improve survival.”
“Now I’m here 6 years later, and I would never have thought that possible.”
This year, thanks to regular supporters like you, people like Alfred are celebrating more time with their family.
“My grandaughter is so important to me. I love all my family, but I really didn’t think I would get to see her grow up. I am spending more time with her and creating memories.’
“I’d like to say a huge thank you to people who support Cancer Research UK, from the bottom of my heart.”
