Peter Wingrove

My PSA was 4,056. Normal is below 4. I’m a dad with stage 4 prostate cancer — and I’m not staying quiet about it.

I’m Peter Wingrove. In Feb 2025 I was diagnosed with stage 4 polymetastatic prostate cancer at 52. I had no symptoms. By the time I went to my GP, my lower abdomen was swollen — and he thought I was too young to have prostate cancer. He was wrong.

Here I document the journey — the treatment, the side effects nobody warns you about, the mental health battles men don’t talk about, and why the UK still doesn’t have a national prostate cancer screening programme.

What you’ll find: My cancer story, told honestly; What nobody tells you about the treatment; Men, cancer & mental health; Why I’m campaigning for a UK screening programme — and how you can help.

Prostate cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK. Mine wasn’t caught early. A screening programme might have changed everything.
