What the petition asks
I have have suffered prostate cancer and had a prostatectomy. The issue was highlighted following a blood test for PSA. I had no symptoms, don't smoke or drink and keep fit
It was the my manager who encouraged me to go for a test following a friend suffering the disease. Had I not had the test I would now be in the advanced stages of cancer and do not know how long I would have to live.
Further to this I know of three other men with the same story.
If this is stopped men will die.PSA test will show your individual PSA level and enable you monitor of your reading. Its a simple blood test and nothing more.
