Help us to stop prostate diseases ruining lives

Editorial

Welcome, dear reader to the very first newsletter of the Prostate Research Campaign UK. We imagine you to be a middle aged or older man with an interest in the prostate for personal reasons.  That certainly typifies your editorial board! But we recognise that amongst our readers there may be wives or relatives who think it is about time the male in their lives did something about his 'waterworks' problems.  And some of you will have already made a financial contribution to the charity's work, for which many thanks. Testword.

Whoever you are, we intend this newsletter to be an informative and interesting read.  It can never be a substitute for the sort of comprehensive information one can get from medical experts or specialist publications but it should bring you up to date and may serve as a starting point for obtaining literature of a more detailed nature.  It should be the sort of publication you would feel happy about handing on to a friend, who may have a prostate problem, at work or in the golf club or wherever.

In this edition there are no letters from readers for the simple reason that it is the first.  We would dearly like to have a letters column in the future, so why not drop us a line?
