Sir Michael Parkinson makes an appeal on behalf of Prostate Cancer UK.

Sir Michael Parkinson makes an appeal on behalf of Prostate Cancer UK, a charity which supports men with the disease, raises awareness, and funds research.

Veteran chat show host Sir Michael Parkinson makes an appeal on behalf of Prostate Cancer UK, a charity which supports men with the disease, raises awareness, and funds vital research into better tests and treatments which could save thousands of lives. Michael has fought his own battle with prostate cancer, so he knows what it's like to live with this disease, which affects 1 in 8 men in the UK at some point in their lives.

The film also features Brian and his 11-year-old son, William. In his 40s Brian started experiencing some symptoms, but he put off visiting the doctor. The idea that he might have prostate cancer never occurred to him, as he thought it was just an old man's disease. When he finally sought help, he discovered he was already in the advanced stages of prostate cancer, and surgery was no longer an option. Brian and his son talk about how they are coping with the situation and how Prostate Cancer UK has supported them. Through the research it funds, the charity is fighting for a future where there might be more effective ways of detecting and treating this disease.
