I’ve always thought the NICE advice on PSA tests to be disingenuous.
I’m white and whenever I asked my GP for a PSA he tried to put me off but I insisted, and guess what, they caught my particularly aggressive prostate cancer just in time.
I know several friends of friends, all black, who died of prostate cancer over the last 10 years. And one work colleague, white, who had the same cancer strain as me and died because it had spread everywhere by the time they discovered it.
I am so glad you persisted with your GP, hearing Sir Chris Hoy’s tragic news this week has certainly raised prostate cancer awareness. i hope all is okay with you
