Prostate Cancer

Post by The Kaptain »

There was an excellent bit on Prostate Cancer on todays (Monday 12th June) BBC Breakfast. I thought I knew about Prostate Cancer but there was a lot of new information thats come out in the last 10 years. It has been uploaded to Youtube so I have linked it below





If you cant be bothered to watch it (and there is no excuse for not watching it) heres the précis. If you are Black and over 45 or White and over 50 get your GP to give you a PSA blood test NOW.

Theres also more info on https://prostatecanceruk.org/ and the BBC Website

Don't be a wuss, DO IT!

I had a scare 15 years(ish) back. Turned out it was 'just' an enlarged prostate which was 'shaved' under a local.

I've not had a PSA for a while now (covid and all that) So I have poked my GP back into action as its not worth leaving

Your GP will soon be back into action “ Poking “ then. :shock:
Just get checked it’s no big deal really.

Yup, do it. Wife had been "badgering" me for years cos I kept pausing films we watched. Long story, prostate gone but not all the cancer, 4 years on I'm still OK but levels rising and will probably need radiotherapy soon.

If I'd not listened to the boss I'd probably not be enjoying my K Rad 2!
