Let’s Talk About the Hard Things

Let’s Talk About the Hard Things’ is a patient awareness campaign developed by Ipsen in partnership with Prostate Cancer Research.

The campaign was based on the findings of a Ipsen-sponsored patient survey that was designed to better understand the experiences faced by men living with prostate cancer, particularly in terms of the challenges that may arise from the side effects of treatments such as radical prostatectomy, radiotherapy and ADT.

The campaign aims to not only break down the taboos surrounding possible side effects of prostate cancer treatment but also encourage men to talk about their experiences with friends, family, and healthcare professionals.
