Prostate cancer - it's a man thing

Despite what I sense is sarcasm, I'm very sorry to have upset you.
The article caught my attention because of the frequency with which people I know (some very closely) are embroiled in prostate cancer one way or another, or are just facing the issue of PSA testing or not. I've seen little media attention given to medics who are in line with the recent rejection of a PSA screening policy, which is also why I was interested – and foolishly thought that there might be one or two others who might be interested too. I also had no idea of the numbers and percentages involved in the study which underpinned the medic's opinion, which again I thought interesting.
I posted with a wider audience than just you in mind, but if you think that everyone has your (horribly gained) level of knowledge, and you want me to delete my posts, fine. Your call, no probs.

If you had added this context along with your first post in this long running, mutually supportive thread, I would have had no problem at all with you raising it as part of the ongoing debate about the efficacy or otherwise of PSA screening but I thought it was a tad insensitive to do so without any explanation of your motivation for doing so.

Thank you for providing the clarification. Absolutely no need to delete your posts therefore.

I entirely agree with Bittfox regarding the benefits of an early diagnosis. A no-brainer for me too.
 
Mine is aggressive and I was sent to have a bone scan very early on. If I had t been tested and just been monitored I could very easily have ended up in the same situation as Chris Hoy.

Get tested, get fingered.
