I have just found out my Stepfather has prostate cancer.
There is very little screening etc for conditions like this, lots for female cancers but little or none for male cancers

If you have ANY problems in your downstairs department PLEASE PLEASE see your GP

My stepfather is very lucky, he was biopsied as part of a screening programme through his occupational health department. Now its time to decide which is the best treatment.

Thanks for reading

Hiya

My grandad had bladder cancer that spread to his prostate..first sign of anything amiss was problems urinating and needing to urinate frequently at night...thankfully he got it checked out right away and has now had an operation to remove the bladder and prostrate....

Cannot stress enough how important it is to go to the doctors asap!
