I lost a friend to prostate cancer yesterday. Not very old and one of the nicest guys you could meet.

My dad passed away from the same disease.

Lovely men of Fab please don't ignore any signs you might have.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I do wonder whether it is something that should become a regular normal checkup for a man every few years

Whenever I do a charity fundraiser it's always for Orchid:

"Orchid exists to save men's lives from testicular, prostate and penile cancers through pioneering research and promoting awareness"

All of my paternal side, have had prostate cancer, and they've all come through ok

I'd also recommend checking out Oddballs too

I think once men get to 45 they should be offered a PSA check. I know that it is not the only indicator but a start.

Good advice!

Very glad that all of your men have pulled through.

I have three brothers and only one of them has been checked. They are silly boys.

Nobody likes being examined internally. Equally you wouldn't want to be on here with a willy that cannot work

Blood test for PSA which isn't the only indicator.

Prostate-specific antigen, or PSA, is a protein produced by cells of the prostate gland. The PSA test measures the level of PSA in a man’s blood. For this test, a blood sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis. The results are usually reported as nanograms of PSA per milliliter (ng/mL) of blood.

The blood level of PSA is often elevated in men with prostate cancer, and used to monitor the progression of prostate cancer in men who had already been diagnosed with the disease. . Men who report prostate symptoms often undergo PSA testing to help doctors determine the nature of the problem.

Its not a nailed on test but a good indicator of a potential problem.
