I RECENTLY GOT PROSTATE CANCER,THANK GOD IT WAS IN ITS EARY STAGES ,SO I HAVE A GOOD CHANCE TO CURE IT .THE NHS HAVE BEEN GREAT BY THE WAY. 

I ONLY FOUND OUT I HAD IT AS I HAD A PSA SIMPLE BLOOD TEST WHICH I HAVE DONE EVERY 6 MONTHS AS MY FRIEND DIED  AS  HE CAUGHT IT TOO LATE .

ITS A SILENT KILLER AS THE SYMPTOMS DONT SHOW UNTIL IT HAS SPREAD TO YOUR OTHER ORGANS  WHICH THEN MEANS ITS HARDER AND MORE EXPENSIVEFOR THE  NHS TO CURE.

1 IN 3 MEN  OVER 50 GET AN ENLARGED PROSTATE .LIKE THE KING .1 IN 6 OVER 50 GET CANCER

MEN AS A RULE DONT LOOK AFTER THEIR HEALTH  AS MUCH AS WOMEN DO.

1 IN 7 WOMEN GET BREAST CANCER AND GET AN AUTOMATIC  BREAST SCREENING PROGRAM .

MOST MEN I TALK TO  OVER 50 ARE NOT AWARE OF THESE FACTS AND DONT KNOW HOW EASY IT IS TO BE TESTED BY A SIMPLE BLOOD TEST FROM THEIR  GP .

**** MY PETITION IS TO MAKE THE GOVERNMENT BRING IN  SCREENING FOR MEN OVER 50 .IT WOULD SAVE 10000 LIVES A YEAR AND BE CHEAPER FOR THE NHS .

SUPPORT THIS PLEASE IF YOU CARE AND IF YOUR OVER 50 GO AND GET IT DONE THANKS JOHN STRODE
