Terminal Prostate Cancer Sufferer Kevin Vardy BBC Interview

Mike Buchanan: Kevin Vardy is a remarkable man, suffering with terminal prostate cancer. He started an online petition to Jeremy Hunt MP, Health Secretar , calling for a national screening programme for prostate cancer https://www.change.org/p/the-rt-hon-j.... So far it’s received over 53,000 signatures, a remarkable number for a petition on a men’s issue.


It’s a scandal that such a programme doesn’t already exist. As many men die from prostate cancer as women die from breast cancer in the UK, and there are national screening programmes for both breast cancer and cervical cancer.

This file consists of two separate interviews, broadcast at different times during the same programme. The first is a short interview with Dr Carole Rolph, Senior Lecturer in Clinical Biochemistry, University of Central Lancashire. The second is a deeply moving and insightful interview with Kevin Vardy himself.
