Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia has seen a significant spike in distressed men reaching out for support via its new telenursing service, with COVID lockdowns adding to patient stress levels.
Around 70 per cent of callers report moderate or high levels of distress, as many struggle to cope with ongoing uncertainty and the side-effects of their treatment.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Australian men, with over 16,000 diagnosed each year and around 230,000 Australian men living with the disease and its long-term side effects.
PCFA CEO Professor Jeff Dunn AO said many men were suffering in silence.
“What we’re seeing is really concerning and reinforces the vital need for more support services for men with prostate cancer, and their families,” Prof Dunn said.

Alabama is asking federal officials whether covid-19 recovery funds can be used to improve state prisons with “better, enhanced, and/or extended infrastructure.”
The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser reports that Corrections Commissioner Jeff Dunn sent a letter to the U.S. Treasury Department asking the question. Dunn framed the request as enhancing health care and programming for inmates. Lawmakers have previously said they want to know if pandemic recovery funds can be used for prison construction and renovations. The question arose after Gov. Kay Ivey’s plan to lease prisons fell apart because of financing concerns.
