Episode notes

Part 2 in our patient advocate series and Episode Four of our “Talking Prostate Cancer” Series.

In this episode we have the privilege of speaking with patient advocate Paul Ferris and his wife Geraldine. Former Newcastle United winger Paul Ferris was 51. He had successfully forged a post-football career as a physio, barrister and then a CEO, and his award-winning memoir, The Boy on the Shed, was just about to be published. But then he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

He talks openly about his experience with great humor and profound bravery. Paul's wife Geraldine joins him for some of this episode to discuss the impact of a prostate cancer diagnosis within a relationship.
