Cellist Julian Lloyd Webber diagnosed with prostate cancer

Chiara De Biase, fundraising and health strategy director at Prostate Cancer UK, said: “We’re saddened to hear that Julian Lloyd Webber has faced a prostate cancer diagnosis and wish him all the best with his future treatment.

“We’re incredibly grateful to him for speaking so openly about it and raising lifesaving awareness.

“Prostate cancer often doesn’t have symptoms at the early stages, but the earlier you find it, the easier it is to treat.

“For men like Mr Lloyd Webber who have a family history of prostate cancer, their risk may be higher than other men, which is why it’s so important for men to be aware of the disease, to know their own risk and to know what they can choose to do about it.
