Speeding up treatment times!

We paid a visit to see the brand new bladder scanner that we’ve funded for Derriford Hospital’s radiology department.

Having a bladder scan is an important part of preparing for radiotherapy, so this new piece of equipment will help to speed up treatment time for cancer patients.

It’s thanks to our donors and supporters that we can fund this kind of equipment, which will make such a difference to cancer patients’ treatment. What a lovely Christmas gift this is for staff and patients at Derriford Hospital – thank you!

If you or someone you know is affected by prostate, testicular or penile cancer, our free patient and family support groups across Devon and Cornwall offer a space to connect with others who understand what you’re going through.
