    I had posted on the August thread (I didn't know how to create a thread so thanks TigerGlenn).

    RIP Bill Turnbull...Fought one hell of a battle with advanced Prostrate Cancer.

    I know it's an RIP thread but this particular disease is treatable if detected early...Be vigilant one and all and don't let male pride cloud your judgement!!

    It certainly is if caught early Ric

    I get checked every two weeks by Rudolpho the Brazilian nurse at my GP surgery
    He even takes his false nails off when he sees me!
    Can’t beat that level of care

    He's going the extra mile for you there Chazz.Mine is checked twice yearly due to abnormal P.S.A levels and BPH,the Dr has hands like shovels and fingers like Bratwurst sausages...Ouch!! but worth the 1 minute of discomfort.

    I'll steer clear of Rudolpho though..

    Joking aside, getting the tests done early is vitally important. I’ve had some issues with my prostate - as I’m sure a few others on here will have had, A few high PSA readings made life a bit scary for a while. All under control now, but thankfully it was my wife (a nurse) who made me face up to it and get the problem seen to. I would urge anyone having symptoms to get checked out asap.

    As we speak I will be having my prostrate and bladder removed within the next month. I detected a problem by going to the loo more than I used to. I’ll be fine after the op with the bonus of the World Cup to watch.

    ps going to rebuild me a new bladder.

    ravil maganov, 67, chairman of russian oil company lukoil, who criticised putin's invasion of the ukraine in february died after "falling" from a sixth-floor window of a hospital.

    his death had been described as "suicide", like many other deaths convenient for the russian president and government.

    I got mine checked in lockdown. It was a bit awkward as the surgery wasn't accepting patients but the kind doctor agreed to meet me in a lay-by to do it, to return the favour I allowed him to bring a group of trainee doctors to watch.

    As others have said joking aside the slightest symptom or just for reassure get yourself checked it's not worth leaving it.

    I also had prostate issues and fortunately was diagnosed early. 20 doses of radiotherapy and 2 years of injections followed, but thankfully I have been clear for 4 years now.
    If you think something is wrong down there, insist on a PSA test through your doctor. Better be safe than sorry and I don't understand why there is no mass screening programme for men (as with breast cancer checks for women).

    That’s very sad indeed. First saw Aswad at Hull Uni about 83, they was superb.

    What are the symptoms? I'll be 50 next year I suppose I should think about these things now.

    I think it varies. Lots of men start going for a pee more often, especially during the night. You can get a burning feeling when you go for a pee. Personally, I had an uncomfortable feeling down below which persisted for several days. (note I am not a medical person and this was my alarm call).
    Suggest you go onto the official prostate cancer UK Web site where there is lots of information and advice as to what you should do if you have any doubts.
    Don't be embarrassed, make that call and put your mind at rest.
