I have some news to share! on 17:09 - Dec 28 with 2687 views | Swansea_Blue | Meh. It’s hardly on a level with having a shoe knicked, is it? A HUGE congratulations . Absolute barsteward of a disease, so I’m so glad for you that you kicked the fecker into touch. And I hope you can steer clear of it from now on. Having had a scare 12 months ago (which luckily just turned out to just be an infection), I echo the advice about getting checked out if you notice anything different - It’s very straightforward and could literally save your life or at worse put your mind to rest. |  |

I've just used it to book a test for the first time. Thanks for posting. Wonderful news and will hopefully inspire others to get themselves checked out! |  | |  |

We had Professor Chris Booth, a retired oncologist who started the charity, on Life's a Pitch a few years back. He told me that the last event they'd had at Town they had 250 men attend, something like 17 tests required a further look and four of those showed signs of prostate cancer. |  | |  |

Can I just add that if you have a blood test and your PSA level is higher than the recommended level please don't panic. Most men in their 50s and above will get an enlarged prostate and that will elevate their PSA level. |  | |  |

I have some news to share! on 18:50 - Dec 28 with 2257 views | IndependentlyBlue | What great news to get and good of you to share it on here. Can’t agree more on the importance of getting yourselves checked out chaps. Early intervention can save a lot of grief. Have been through radiotherapy for prostate cancer myself and am still on regular checkups. Couldn’t believe the attitudes of some people l know when l told them what had happened and urged them to get tested. One said, and l quote, “I’d rather not know than go through all that”, and another said he couldn’t possibly discuss it with his doctor as she was a woman. If you want to hear some great discussions on cancer in men generally, but a lot of stuff on prostate cancer, check out the podcast John Holmes Says the C Word on BBC sounds. |  |

I think more fear having 'Doctor Sausage fingers". P.s...it lasts for 5 seconds and saves your life and doesn't hurt at all. [Post edited 28 Dec 2024 19:01]

Apparently some men pay ladies to do it to them on a regular basis. Or so a friend tells me, honest. |  |
