All Whites legend Steve Sumner was never one to shirk a challenge on the pitch and he is taking the same approach to his battle with prostate cancer, which will be in the spotlight this weekend as New Zealand Football urges teams all over the country to ‘Play It For Steve’.
Crop packaging supplier Agpac will continue to raise awareness of breast and prostate cancer through the sale of pink and blue bale wrap this harvest season.
New Zealand football great Steve Sumner’s cancer has spread and he faces chemotherapy next week, but he is still urging men to be constantly vigilant of the prostate cancer risk.
Patients with low risk prostate cancer on active surveillance for three years experienced similar health related quality of life as men without prostate cancer, both clinically and psychologically, according to the study “Prospective Quality of Life in Men Choosing Active Surveillance Compared to Those Biopsied but not Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer,” published in The Journal of Urology .
