The Talking Tradesman“What did they say?” “I don’t know… I can’t remember.” Jamie had just walked out of the doctor’s after being told he had prostate cancer. He rang his wife. She asked the obvious question, what had the doctor said? But beyond those words, “you’ve got cancer”, everything else was a blur. That moment is exactly why this episode matters. Prostate cancer often causes no symptoms in its early stages, so knowing your risk matters. (nhs.uk) You’re at increased risk if you’re: • Over 50 • Black, particularly from an African or Caribbean background • Have a father or brother who has had prostate cancer • Have certain inherited genetic risks or a strong family history of related cancers (nhs.uk) If you fall into a higher-risk group, or you’re worried about your risk, speak to your GP about whether a PSA blood test is appropriate for you. (nhs.uk) Don’t wait for symptoms to give you a reason. Jamie’s full story is available NOW on The Talking Tradesman Podcast, on all platforms. If this episode makes even one man book that conversation with his GP, it’s done its job. #ProstateCancer #MensHealth #ProstateCancerAwareness #GetChecked #TheTalkingTradesman
