I have just been listening on radio 2 someone talking about prostrate cancer and it is very common and men seem to try and forget about symtoms and it is not easy to diagnose early
No doubt there will be symptoms in some, maybe most, men I would imagine. But the thing that stuck in my head this morning from the radio discussion was the fact that you can have prostate cancer and have no symptoms, men have found they have had cancer just from it being picked up in routine medical checks when they have felt fine otherwise. List of symptoms here though: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/prostate-cancer/symptoms/Given that most deaths due to prostate cancer are because of late diagnosis, what are the symptoms that would tell us that we should go to the Doc's?
Its better than the other result !!!Just got to man up and go have a finger stuck up your arris.
I've already had that test, lady Dr asked if I wanted a chaperone!
Still got to go have the full health check. Best get on and organise it I guess.
So it doesn't make you go blind , its actually good for youDr.told me when he checked it year or so ago if that was swollen you would have shot off the bed when he did it ?
Also a good sex life or toss helps too he said ????
Saw this thread a while ago while looking at the bad-back one, and now I've something to add...
Mrs Danllan's father had a scare with PC a few years ago and she lost a most beloved aunt and a grandmother to breast cancer so she is rather sensitive to the subject as a whole.
I've had a bad back for a while - I am certain from pulling haylage loose in a ring feeder - and have recently got up in the night to use the toilet a few of times. With the boss putting 2 and 2 together she is now ordering me to see the GP...
I think @Shutesy is quite right in saying that most of us will have some symptoms but, having spoken to a friend who is a Doc, it would seem that 'better safe than sorry' is the way forward in this. Probably nothing, but from a bit of muscle strain and drinking too late in the evening (usually tea!), between them Mrs Danllan and said friend have now got me thinking. I'm hoping the 'test' won't be worse than the old Army medicals .
Is that supposed to be a f****** morale booster?If it hasn't been posted before....
