Day 3: Facts In Wales More than 2,500 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year in Wales. Around 600 men die from prostate cancer every year in Wales. Around 21,000 men are living with and after prostate cancer in Wales.

Day 3 Progress: Weight training 532 cal Core 148 cal Total: 2143/12000 Starting to ache! #bloodsweatrespect

Day 4: Facts: Prostate cancer that’s contained inside the prostate doesn’t usually cause any symptoms. But some men might have some urinary problems. These can be mild and happen over many years and may be a sign of a benign prostate problem, rather than prostate cancer.

Day 4: Update: Run 215 cals Boxing (bag work) 204 cals Total: 2569/12000 Thank you for all the donations... £455 so far! Amazing #bloodsweatrespect

Day 5 update: I am a quarter of the way into the challenge having done 3058/12000 I am aching all over and flared up a recent finger injury from boxing BUT, with every muscle that hurts, I think of the patients that have to endure pain with prostate cancer, and this spurs me on

Day 6: Today is a rest day. Big week ahead! Facts: Symptoms of prostate cancer are varied. If you have any of such symptoms the seek medical advice. Ignoring such symptoms over a long period can be the difference between curable and incurable disease.

Day 8 update: Fact: Investigations for suspicious symptoms of prostate cancer include checking the PSA level in the blood and also have the prostate examined by feeling it. More detailed investigations include and MRI and possibly a biopsy of the prostate.

Progress: Been really difficult couple of days but have managed to keep the calories ticking with a weights workout yesterday and a cardio and core workout today. 3985/12000 almost a third of the way there. #bloodsweatrespect

Day 9: Facts: Treatment for prostate cancer depends on the staging. Options include: Active surveillance (watchful waiting) Surgical removal (radical prostatectomy) Radiotherapy Brachytherapy (radiotherapy given from within the prostate) Hormone therapy Chemotherapy

Progress: As hard as things have been emotionally, exercise really does help mentally as well as physically. My personal achievement today is a non-stop 3 mile run (I’m not a runner!) Total: 4288/12000 Thank you for the kind donations - so far £630 (and £145 gift aid)

'What's been the impact of COVID-19 on service change? It's provided us with the chance to innovate and think quickly. It's been apocalyptic, but we can see a better future. How can we use this experience to build a better Welsh NHS?' Robin Ghosal at Prince Philip Hywel Dda UHB

A year ago today we met 100s off staff to share our covid plans splitting the hospital into red and green zones. At the time I said I had always been proud to be the PPH general manager and, no matter what hit us, I was sure I would be even more proud of everyone I was right 👋
