The Prostate Project – So Many Lives Can be Saved if Prostate Cancer is Detected Early Enough.

Sadly, due to Shrieval duties, I had to cancel my holiday this week, but as that freed up a few hours, I took the opportunity to doing something positive for myself. Medefer and the Prostate Project were offering free testing today at the Cathedral in Guildford. Normally life gets in the way and arranging to have a blood test, which only takes a couple of minutes, never seems to find a place in the diary. However, as Martin Davies, Chair of The Prostate Project explained, so many lives can be saved if prostate cancer is detected early enough. Currently in the UK, 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetimes. Unfortunately, many cases go undetected in the early stages because symptoms often don’t appear until after the cancer has advanced.
