Hi Everybody...
Its interesting to read back on my previous stories here, grateful to be able to do so. It shows me and I hope others that you can come through adversity and that there is light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how dark it appears at times.
My personal story is one of a prostate cancer diagnosis in November 2019, ironic I know. I quickly received treatment due to the aggressive nature of the tumour. I had all the after effects of the cancer and while some improved, I still suffer with some of them, This caused me to suffer from some mental health issues which at times caused me to reflect on the decision to have the surgery.
I can fast forward to today and look back on where I was and where I am now, I am in a better place both physically and mentally, This is due to a lot of factors, it is important to me that I acknowledge that there was no quick fix or one thing that fixed everything.
The factors that influenced my recovery where, family, friends, health care workers, mental health services, talking to anybody who would listen, educating myself on self care, volunteering to spread the details of my experiences to men in particular but also their family and friends.
There have also been several organisations that have been the cornerstone of my recovery, the main one was and is Movember, through their True North program and the all round feeling of a community that encourages men to be open with their issues, the constant improvements in help and assistance for men.

Hi!

THANK YOU! From the bottom of the hearts of all of Mo HQ, thank you for your awe-inspiring fundraising this Movember.

The impact you’ve made raising awareness and fundraising to help stop men from dying too young in mo-numental. This includes ground-breaking projects –such as our new HUGS@HOME project we’re funding with RCSI to provide mental health support for frontline workers.

Thank you for sharing your story and for spreading awareness you are an absolute mo-legend! It will no doubt help others in a similar situation.

We could not do it without you,

Ashley, Mo HQ
