Radio Sheffield You're listening to pull at Edwards so March is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and Macmillan Cancer Support is encouraging men in Sheffield fall you know obviously we talk about. Know the signs and symptoms of prostate cancer Michael Talbot is from Sheffield he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year and Louise Metcalf is in is a Macmillan this and the both here to talk to us about the experience especially that Michael had good morning to both of you Michael 1st of all when did you actually realize that something was wrong I actually didn't realize anything was wrong initially I went to the doctors for just general a motor you get to the age of 50 or thought. But let's just check to see how I'm doing make sure everything's working how it should be so it was literally just a well man's mit that I just took night it was something to the g.p. That yes it was yeah and well what did you find out then what point did you realize that something was wrong well went from General mit the doctor said to me Are you aware that Africare be in men of a certain age of 4 times more susceptible to getting prostate cancer than the other this city are you aware of that I wasn't aware not all mono so else people wouldn't mind taking a about that but x. Which I did and that came back the p.s.a. Test which came out extremely high which then led them to do some more tests to point out that I had actually control will have to have she have cancer it's well all the tests do you mean that while they do biopsies once they have blood test comes up a certain p.s.a. Counts or school they do a biopsy or a number of oil please and then they test take them away tests come back night so then what point did you get the diagnosis then my right it's going to have I'm sure to see the consultant and you're always wary that there's a queue of people coming in to see consultant get results and some of the most is just take you in and give you your result when I went to my office there was 3 or 4 people in this awful this doesn't sound like good news and at that point that's when they actually said that the test that everything and I can confirm that I do have prostate cancer he would tell you what the state stage was at what it was a little early stages Thank goodness you know early stages I mean he's treatable you know like that speech was great great news for you you know what was that moment like for you then it was difficult because the moment they said to me you've got cancer. Once I said that was the see would a couldn't hear what else he was saying I could hear it like he was mumbling I'm welcome here with that kind of resonates in the back of my head and we think him then why was that such a big word so here for you all thinking how bad is it. What happens next what do I have removed it is treatable if it spreads how difficult to live all these questions just going running through my head while at the same time there talking to me about what course of treatment may possibly be available to me and things that no regrets are going for the amulet because that's all in the living since now it's amazing the rhythm of the bomb on my g.p. And I thank him for going and we've been talking actually over the past few weeks about men in general and g.p.s. And how sometimes they delay any kind of visit to the to the g.p. You were completely all for they say it's a then and up for it yes because I didn't actually expect anything to be wrong so you go there on the dumbest I'm going to I'll just have an mit I'll go and everything will be Ok and I walk back out to go. But a lot of the noise were that way but what point did you get involved in the ways as a millon. So Michael at g p is a Mike Mullane j p r what really closely with and I was trying. To find out what is called Come to care in Sheffield on the g.p. And Dr Goodall say and I asked Michael if I could call him and I called him and we talked about all the things 1st and then we just became really good friends as well as and talked about his concept and that's why don't we just carried on talking for the last few fellowship probably I b.b.c. Radio Sheffield got Michael with me of course Louise with me Michael has been diagnosed with prostate Council talk about the treatment you get to see Michael in just a moment and Louise is a Macmillan nurse they have been paired together to support so well really for Louise to support Michael but I'm sure it goes both ways because that's the way support works we can continue our discussion with them after Genesis or either of us from the Genesis you lot you sell music market but that's the only work you used to teach 18 year old a while ago yes but only value know you've said what's important. Was which was generous on b.b.c. Radio Sheffield Follow You Follow Me Listen to pull out just one quarter past 10 on this very cold Friday morning and I'm talking to Michael Michael Thomas from Sheffield he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year I've also got Louise Metcalf with me she's a Macmillan ness and she has been supporting Michael will talk a bit more about what that looks like as we continue with this bit of the discussion so if you had to make any changes to your lifestyle then because of prostate cancer because he diagnoses Michael I have done. More physical because of the treatment of her head it does leave me very fatigued so it doesn't give me a lot of energy to want to go out and do the exercises in the sports that are normal or used to do and you do look really really well if you don't mind me saying that what about the treatment then what kind of treatment if you have a I understand that you had a little bit of choice in what kind of treatment to have are did as a big decision isn't it for someone who's not medically trained mowers couldn't literally a tool kit of different options are available to marry and they could have been let in for all I move them out the information that was in there Louise help me. Source for them through some of the medical terms and terminology and what she couldn't work with help me with she referred me to the Macmillan helpline which were absolutely amazing so you just picked up the phone gave them a call and they talked to you and helped you through these these choices not save choice that you had to make they made it so much if you would like talking to a friend on the line it wouldn't very clinical It was a very relaxed conversation. They recommended. Some different types of treatment one of them on their even heard of called Brick your therapy. It's where they impregnate titanium pellets into your prostate and slow release radiotherapy and it lasts over a 12 month period and is that you go for that option I did yes and how does that mean then for you or for Middle East the basic treatments. Seamlessly they don't actually do in Sheffield are totally to get it done but the transfer over the same with It was amazing wrong and what do you know about how well you do in then I have intermittent periodic p.s.a. Tests and the 1st 2 or 3 Tests there was no change but last month of it appears they check and it's dropped significantly on average my p.s.a. Was about between 7 point more intimate and the last check up had is down to 2 while she is witnessing really a difference and he tossed copious a mean I haven't got a clue yet it's for your prostate so except it's let me just get it completely right for you so it's a test what they do for men for our prostate specific antigen falso it said it but it's not always clear and so they don't use it to diagnose concept there's no blood test to diagnose cancer it just paints a picture of so you need further it's how you compare. What you. Know these noble attacks what can predict a cancer right but the fact that it's gone down for good or not then tossed it yeah yeah I've been talking about my own Mikoyan in Iran the last week just before I went on holiday to tell me which is fantastic yeah it's great news we've got a cold rush if you got some headphones are there any headphones if you could just pop the headphones on both of you both got a pair on to pop home because the atriums got in touch with his He's in Chesterfield and he's had cancer 3 times he wants to praise Well I let him do it. Adrian how Huysman and doing are not so bad Thank you it's nice you have gone to 3 times then Adrian sorry say again you have come to 3 Well I've had 3 types I started off I was originally diagnosed with prostate cancer that night and then. There was a secondary spread to my bladder and I had bladder cancer and I had to have my bladder removed by major surgery last about this time last year and then I've got also some bone cancer as well right you want to you doing or I let me ask you that before you go into the praise that you want to give me well yes I mean I think I do I think bearing in mind all of that and the fact that I also lost my wife just over 2 years ago. Yes I mean I'm doing well I'm far better today than I was this day last year let's put it that way you've had your fair share Haven't you don't so what do you want to say then especially to the way well I think I think for me Mila nurses and through ash gate hospital in my case. Have been absolutely fantastic in the sense that they're there all the time when you want them whenever you want them and you'll appreciate Paul that the the Living on your own you've got a lot of time to sit and think and just sometimes it's just nice to know that you can pick up the phone ring and they'll be a cheerful voice at the other end of it and you did it well I did that and also I have to say that they kept in touch with me so just very occasionally they would make a phone call and say How are you doing it Lynne. And on one occasion Amazingly I was sitting here one afternoon the front door bell rang and one of my Macmillan nurses said I was just passenger door so I thought I'd ring the bell see how you were born how did you feel and I felt really good will is incredible isn't it do you feel a little bit sad that it is that it's a child with a. Well yes I mean it is but. It's very difficult isn't it and we could this is neither the time nor the place perhaps to have the debate about national health service funding or whatever else but yes it is it is very difficult and I would encourage anybody who is looking for a charity to support to think very carefully about supporting Macmillan nurses or support the local hospice or whatever they do a fabulous job. It's something that's in your own area you can see some real benefits of it you know my Devas can see the benefits in me now I. Say you know I was a year ago so I really do have a good you know when you're thinking about should I give to charity or whatever and they've had a bad press in the last few weeks but you know I think local think local Adrian it's been incredibly you know I see spin a great thing a heart warming thing for you to get in touch to say what you've said today thank you very much for joining us and we wish you the best sage and in Chesterfield thank you for joining us on b.b.c. Radio Sheffield thanks very much lovely agent in Chesterfield How does that feel for you to hear about Louise brilliant Melinda a fantastic job I will say I am employed by Sheffield c c j so the clinic commissioning group and I'm. Adopted by Ryan and. I work for Sheffield so it's not as clear cut as charity not charity and that's important that you make that distinction b.b.c. Radio Sheffield You're listening to Paul that we're talking about prostate cancer Michael was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year he's doing all right he's doing very well he looks very well which is important Louise's here as a Macmillan nurse to talk about the support they offer you a little bit Federal Pen only thoughts the right word to use that you know African Caribbean men 4 times more likely to have prostate cancer than men who are not African Caribbean they're there to wanting to. Cage a man as opposed to wanting for Africa in man well I sleep 4 times more likely do you talk to your friends about this then. Number of conversations with them when I was 1st like most of these thoughts of me. How can I help you through anything I can do to help you know I'm a model for them so yes there is. Twisted How do they respond to that then majority of them were very positive and said you know that's what will do. Tricks family and friends with whom. Slightly frustrated with some of the friends that would say to me Michael I don't feel I don't feel that any symptoms are most symptoms I don't want to tempt fate. With case of what I want which is exactly the wrong thing to think because you have no symptom I suppose symptoms money so what would you say to them then now I think it's simple blood test and it doesn't take 5 minutes to get there and it could make the world a bit from and the diagnosis to much better the outcome Yes and you're doing very well now which is great as I'm on the way on the record and on the way it's about people which is a great thing as well for you Well it's been great to talk to both of you Michael but from Sheffield and we cough who's a McMillan s.

Radio Sheffield you listen to Paulette So what better excuse to get your Gladrags on than a charity a charity ball to be exact domestic abuse charity Lumina all receive no statutory funding how the survivor don't know we're going to talk about that in just a moment they rely on grandson placation some fund raising events and they're holding their 1st ever Charity Ball Janet Scully is from women are and she's here to tell us a little bit about this Bill nice to meet you Janet thank you very much for coming in can you tell us a bit more about this charity because I reckon a lot of people may not have heard of it how long we've been going I think that's right Paul that with actually been established since 1978 however the work we did for many many years was intrinsically linked to the women's refuge in bonds like Therefore everything we did was under the radar so it's in only in the last couple years went off the funding changed without too lost the contract for that that with all this established ourselves in a different way so obviously since 2017 April was being called Loman are rather than dogs so obviously although we've been around 40 years now we're doing a different work stream and also we've got a different branding so obviously that's why I think people perhaps aren't aware of us in terms of obviously bands in the wider area what do you do then how do you support people who are of experience domestic abuse Well basically we've got 2 primary focus is one of our focuses on education so currently for the last 2 years we've been going into primary schools across the Burra actually delivering a 15 minute interactive domestic awareness raising with primary children what kind of things would you be saying in something like that and basically we actually take them depending on age with the language appropriately by Key Stage one key stage 2 we take them through obviously what domestic abuse is between obviously family members with them go on to child abuse we actually speak to them and break down each section by using kind of props to explain things like emotional abuse is what negli. It is we obviously talk about trusted people that they can speak to if they are in any fear any danger and who those people are we see to chant sexual abuse but class it is part of the physical in terms of what parts of the body should remain private so we try to raise their attention raise that awareness and get it at the appropriate level so that we don't scare them or upset them sometimes we find obviously already in the classes and the school are aware that there are children or young people that are have already experienced this that's dealt with very sensitively with school representatives in the class silly since January this year must self and the volunteers have started to run that program previously it was designed by a room by a therapist but now we've taken over that work in schools and hope and in the near future against those key messages but at a different level to secondary school because of all the relationships obviously that can start to go wrong in terms of teenagers that So that's one aspect then the education you do in schools which sounds massive in itself but what else to do and then obviously the other side of it equal is important is the work that our therapists do in terms of the bespoke interventions that they give to children young people and families we actually can start working with children from the age of 4 up until 18 sometimes those sessions is purely with the child or the young person's or their children who have been in a situation where you are right and you know obviously you're so obviously they were through various things to start with it's build you know they trust to build the relationship between the challenging person and the therapist then the child can obviously feel accepted feel safe and then start to express themselves and then depending on the age of the child their development and if specific needs that they may have or difficulties different things they use different interventions so it could be movement it could be play it could be sound it could be actually writing a letter could even be counseling to children then so you can be to ways this to lots of referrals of us. The parent guardian can refer the child themselves because they're concerned about what they've seen I was a real experience and also a 3rd party so a school a doctor a social worker with the concept of that child's obviously cagier intern's of all we ask obviously at the. Meeting is that there is a basic full history of that child so the therapist knows exactly what's happening so the main person that's been providing that care will of us they obviously meet with a therapist and go through history background except you know I'm thinking John I'm thinking this is huge work for a charity for something that relies on donations or that relies on raising phones it's huge We're salute you know it sounds like something that the education system should be responsible for all the n.h.s. But it's relying on just donations and we talk about this charity ball that you've got organize to raise this money will go back to the ways in which you raise funds we're talking about Luminol it's a charity that Janet Scully's a part of and they are having a charity ball to raise funds for the charity what's going to happen at this charity pool then well it's going to fantastic even and we have got a really good lineup on Saturday the 17th of March some Patrick's Day It's at the Olivier in and we are having a 3 course meal followed by an entertainment by Frankie's guys which are a very well known renowned tribute band they will come on and they'll give 245 minutes lots of entertainment in between their break and they'll be a raffle they'll be an option and conclude the in will be the d.j. The resident d.j. From the hotel the loveseat they playing tunes and people over there were dancing enjoying themselves until 1 am in the morning right a ball which means addressable Fair Play going to make an effort we've got to turn up shabby it's a ball come up salute cleanup but if people don't want to go to the full black tie so it's just something nice what they feel comfortable and we just want people to come along to experience a really good evening for now you know for. Really really good cause basically why did you choose this means of raising funds then because we've never done anything like this before we've started doing Tombo less bike parks and other small things for form racing but we thought to try and get our name out this would be an excellent way to promote because obviously coming on here today with don't fly is we've heard of some really good support from local people with the newsletters and the free publications so we thought as well as obviously raising money at the same time raising our profile which then will allow the Hughes's whether it's obviously parents schools get any touch with us for support while the c.x. I see the schools intervention work or the work that therapists do 2 way thing we all invited to the song was a lot of we've got I think we've got room for 260 people and at the moment we've got 95 I would love to get 260 but if I get 120 I get the bigger room at the Holiday Inn and I really need to get in a 26 you list in place supporters it'll be a really fantastic event everything that we make that night will obviously go towards people that are or have obviously suffered from domestic abuse and also to support the education that we do in school which is vital to keep our children safe where do we need to go when to find out more about this event and to sign up for it Well basically we have a website and we have a Facebook lumen our powers of Facebook and obviously at the moment I'm obviously responsible for the tickets if anybody wants to contact me obviously they can do a phone number don't give a phone number out with about an hour with production team have and record their mail so that if they ring go I will pass on their details on to if that's all right .
