[QUOTE="tanker, post: 6563632, member: 10814"] Just come across this thread myself too,so apologies if I repeat something that's been said before but it bears repeating endlessly if it can save lives.This last year I've been involved with prostate cancer charity here in Wales. I had no other link before being asked to join Prostate Cymru's local friends committee here in the county and like the vast majority of people there's a lot I knew nothing about.(in the US,70% of men have a good level of awareness,in the UK,it's less than 7%,an enormous disparity)More men will have prostate cancer than women will have breast cancer...A man runs a 1 in 7/8 risk of having it on average...if there's a close family history of it like in [USER=9410]@Poacher[/USER] 's case then it's 1 in 3...These things alone are enough to make people take notice.... So anyone in your family has problems...BE AWARE.. Cancer charities,be they prostate or otherwise,in Wales or otherwise provide information and awareness talks and many other resources.. We as a group along with another few friends groups here in Welsh counties are trying to reach people to raise awareness in whichever way we can but it's a big task.. If by posting here it means one of you goes to seek information for themselves and others and makes a difference,possibly saves a life and saves a family from grief that could be avoided then we'll have done well..
