As a nurse, Karen has been there to support people during some of the most difficult moments in their lives. Her father, Egbert, died of prostate cancer in 2014, and she suspects her grandad and uncle may have had the disease as well. Karen has made it her personal mission to tell her story, raise awareness and help educate people in her community. 💬 She told us: "I understand that starting a conversation about prostate cancer can be daunting. Some guys simply don’t want to address the topic. "My aim is to listen with compassion, validate their emotions, and provide the right information while emphasising how crucial early testing can be." Thanks to her efforts to raise awareness, several of Karen’s friends have already decided to speak to their GP. And one of them, who discovered he had prostate cancer, was diagnosed early enough for it to be treated successfully 💙 ➡️ Simple tips to start a lifesaving conversation: bit.ly/3IUFMaj (fb)
