  • S3 E11: Breaking the Stigma around Men's Health
    Dec 5 2024

    In this deeply moving episode of Craftcast, our hosts sit down with Herefordshire Freemason Stuart Jones.

    Stuart recounts his life-changing journey, which began while listening to our Season 2 episode featuring Frank Tiller. Inspired to take action, Stuart scheduled a PSa test, which led to the early detection of his aggressive prostate cancer. Thanks to a successful operation and encouraging post-treatment results, Stuart is now on the path to recovery.

    Inspired by his experience, Stuart has become a passionate advocate for men's health, raising awareness about the life-saving importance of regular PSa testing.

    Tune in to learn more about Stuart's inspiring story and how you can make a difference.
