....I imagine the test will involve PSA analysis of your blood (as opposed to a hand up your bum), Tommy. The PSA test isn’t perfect but it is a good indicator of prostrate problems. Worth having a ‘well man’s’ check up once or twice per year.

Sounds good advice. A few have now said a blood test will be a good indicator.

This prostate cancer issue. I'm not showing any obvious symptoms of issues with my prostate other than taking a bit longer to have a gypsy's, but I have to admit to getting worn down by the calls to go to the GP and ask for a test of sorts.
I don't particularly want to have someone's digit up my hoop, out of embarrassment more than anything else, but then we are being told early diagnosis of cancer gives a great chance of making a full recovery.
I'm kind of subscribing to the theory of "if it aint broke, don't fix it"

If it ain't broke go and have the routine 3 minute test - you don't necessarily have to have any symptoms ...
The story about a garage owner in London who made his staff have the test, they were all clear so they dragged him screaming and kicking to the near by testing caravan - he was positive enlarged - he had the small operation now safe he now promotes the check up ...
I have had it done check up wise totally painless uncomfortable no where near as bad as a tooth being filled far less trouble, but more vital........

Flomp.

Spending all day (on non-school days) playing football and cricket. The lasting memory though is someone going to their house and bringing back bottles of tap water to keep us going.

Just for the older members....

Memories of a better time........I'll start with my avatar, Debbie Harry.....

When the flag was not associated with racists and brexiters. Not implying the first one by the way. It was better fitted to the sixties and the mini.

Enjoy your dinners by the way

Delightful!
