You’re funding a vital bladder clinic

At their last meeting, our trustees presented Clinical Nurse Specialist India Manley with a model pelvis.

The model, funded by The Chestnut Appeal for Men’s Health, will be a vital tool for use in her bladder clinics which help and inform men who’ve been through surgical cancer treatment.

India’s clinic hours are funded by our supporters, and since she began her bladder clinic the waiting time for patients to access this service has reduced from around 30 weeks to just one month. The support this clinic offers is crucial in helping patients to maximise their quality of life after cancer treatment.

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.
