Today is but for anyone affected by it, every day is cancer day.
You'll know that Clive shares his prostate journey, but today we'll have a look at the work of our friends at Help Harry Help Others, the cancer charity and also the personal story of Stuart Gizzi, the plumbing equipment boss who's thriving more than 20 years after his prostate treatment.
Help Harry Help Others, have produced a short video talking about the day featuring some famous faces including television presenter Ben Shephard, Birmingham City co-owner Tom Wagner, Weasley Twin actors Oliver Phelps and James Phelps, alongside Midlands broadcaster Ed James DL.

Our long-standing client and friend, Stuart Gizzi, CEO of Intatec, shared his experience of being diagnosed with prostate cancer in his late 50s and being successfully treated because it was caught early.
Stuart put it simply: “Clive and I are both alive because of early testing. That is not theory. It is fact.
"The treatment does knock you for six. But it does not kill you. Ignoring cancer does. Early action gives you options.
"It is the difference between something manageable and months, sometimes years, of consequences.”
A PSA test is a simple blood test that starts with a conversation with your GP. It isn’t automatic or invasive, but it is a choice.
If you are over 50, over 45 with a family history, or if you're Black, that conversation matters even more. If you have symptoms, it matters now.
On World Cancer Day, it feels worth repeating something that can get lost in awareness campaigns: ask the question, get the test, and do not put it off.
