On December the 16th , we had the devastating news of my brother's death, who was suffering from prostate cancer.
He lived in Canada most his life , in fact from the age of 11. He passed peacefully in his own home with a nurse in attendance.


We have heard in the news about Sir Chris Hoy diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer.
And of course King Charles and now also recently Cliff Richards diagnosed with prostate cancer. hopefully has been caught early stages.
I think Stephen Fry is still under treatment for his prostate problems.

The reason for me posting this is by way of appeal for men , even if healthy and fit, to get a yearly check up for this disease. Early diagnosis is better chance of survival.

Sorry to hear your news, Margaret.

I have a PSA test every couple of years.

Thank you Lex.


Good to hear you have a check up.
Do you think it should be yearly?

Possibly; for me it's up to the individual.
