  • I went to a BUPA one through work recently

    Did you opt in/request all the good stuff? I just had one through work and other than checking bloods found it pretty high level and uninformative. No lump checking or finger probing as standard.

  • It was the full-on three hour 'Be.Ahead' assessment. Prostate and balls check was optional, didn't choose it this time around but will do as I approach my 40s. They don't check Vit D as standard through bloods (apparently everyone in the UK ought to assume they're deficient according to the GP) so I opted for that and unsurprisingly was found to be lacking so currently on week 5 of 7 of a 50,000 IU loading dose.

  • Yeah samesies, did the Be.Ahead. I'm well into my 40's so should of read the form properly and got the prostate and balls check. Did find out i'm a bit low on good cholesterol so need to up that. Given the number of sleep related questions in the pre assessment forms I was a bit surprised they didn't have much to say on it. I sleep like shit and would of liked to address that.

  • My urology cancer nurse wife would recommend the prostate and balls check at any age.
