In this powerful and emotional video, Darren opens up about the moment his life changed — from the fear and shock of diagnosis to the unwavering support he received from Spire Healthcare and Dr Daniel Fox, Consultant in Clinical Oncology.

“He gave me so much strength, so much warmth, and he said, ‘We’ve got this. Don’t you worry — we’re going to get you through this.’ And I hang onto those words today.”

Now cancer-free, Darren shares what it meant to ring the bell at the end of treatment and reflects on the journey that brought him there. His story is a moving reminder of the importance of early detection, support, and expert care in overcoming prostate cancer.
