A man with incurable prostate cancer whose only chance is a “breakthrough therapy” not available for public patients has called on the HSE to help men in his situation.

Peter Hayes, 62, lives in Shanagarry, Co Cork. Despite the best efforts of doctors in Cork and Dublin since 2023,  the cancer has spread.
