August

During the month of August, PCR, in collaboration with Tackle Prostate Cancer and in association with leading cancer charity Penny Brohn UK, are bringing you four webinars to help you live well and take a whole life approach to prostate cancer.

Penny Brohn UK’s Bristol Whole Life Approach is underpinned by science and the most recent research into the impact of lifestyle, for people living with cancer.

Aug 4th 11:30am-12:45pm

Building Resilience

Mounting evidence suggests that combining conventional cancer treatments with lifestyle approaches like physical activity, nutrition, sleep and stress management contributes to better quality of life and outcomes after a diagnosis, and that evidence-informed complementary therapies can help with the management of some of the physical, psychological and emotional impacts of a cancer diagnosis. This session will share an overview of the evidence and suggest ways to safely use integrative strategies to improve your health and wellbeing.

With Dr Catherine Zollman, Medical Lead, Penny Brohn UK

Prostate Cancer and the Benefits of Physical Activity

This evidence-based session will discuss the benefits of physical activity, how much is recommended for your individual situation, and the intensity to aim for. It will also cover issues specific to prostate cancer including testosterone deprivation, obesity, pelvic floor exercises, lower body lymphedema and peripheral neuropathy.
